Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled

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.
