Can't open anything through main K menu, Task Manager, or Desktop

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I can't open *anything* in the K menu or from the task manager. I'm getting a
"Resource error (fork failure): Cannot allocate memory" error for everything,
see attachment. Also, none of my desktop icons are viewable.

I have 16 gigs of memory total, and have been running Kubuntu for a year
without any real problems. I don't know what update brought on this behavior?
Running free -h shows I have 9.1Gi left, so I don't know what is going on.

The only way I was able to even open Firefox to file this bug report was
krunner. So far, I've been able to open most things through it, or typing into
konsole once I opened that through krunner, but this is a huge inconvenience.
