Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled

Question

I\'ve been working on a vision project and using some C++ libraries in Java by JNI.

OS: Ubuntu 12.04

In my project, I\'m using boost library to gene

Answer 1

I was experiencing the same issue.

As, the error itself suggests -

Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try ulimit -c unlimited before starting Java again

ulimit gets and sets user limits. For more info on ulimit do -

man ulimit

So, open a terminal and run -

ulimit -c unlimited

This should solve the problem. To check if the change was successful, run -

ulimit -c -l

This should give you an output as follows -

core file size          (blocks, -c) unlimited
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 64

If the problem persists refer to this and this from askUbuntu.
