  • @RomanGelembjuk In u-d13 post I see Java process in Terminal. So propably you using something which run java in background. Every time when I run IDE which based in Java, first I run skype.

The following steps have helped other people who had similar issue:

  1. Get the PID of the last process to use the shared memory segment (lpid — should be the last column):

    ipcs -mp|tail
    
  2. Find out what process is that:

    ps aux|grep <lpid>
    

    where <lpid> is the PID of the last process.

  3. Terminate the process either by closing the offending application or executing

    kill <lpid>
