To avoid this error, we need to increase the inotify watcher limit.
The way to do this is different on Arch based distributions than other Linux distributions.
Check for an already existing inotify config file (recent versions of Manjaro include one)
ls /etc/sysctl.d/*-max_user_watches.conf
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/40-max_user_watches.conf && sudo sysctl --system
(in the rare case where it outputs multiple files, continue using the last one in the list)
# replace `/etc/sysctl.d/50-max_user_watches.conf` with the file returned from the previous `ls` command
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/50-max_user_watches.conf && sudo sysctl --system
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
Expected output: 524288
Hi! thks for the response, I went to the sysctl.d folder and there was no
90-inofify.conf
but50-max_user_watches.conf
instead. I changed te value onfs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288
and reboot.Good solution so far!!
