										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Error:</strong> The error means that the system has reached the maximum number of &#8220;inotify watches,&#8221; which limits the ability to monitor files and directories. This typically happens when there are many applications or processes trying to observe file and directory changes.</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> To increase the <code>inotify watches</code> limit, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open a terminal and check the current value with:
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]"></div>
<div class="overflow-y-auto p-4" dir="ltr"><code class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-bash"><span class="hljs-built_in">cat</span> /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches<br />
</code></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>Temporarily increase the value (e.g., to 524288) by running:
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]"></div>
<div class="overflow-y-auto p-4" dir="ltr"><code class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-bash">sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288<br />
</code></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>To make the change permanent, edit the <code>/etc/sysctl.conf</code> file:
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]"></div>
<div class="overflow-y-auto p-4" dir="ltr"><code class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-bash">sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf<br />
</code></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>Add this line at the end of the file:
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]"></div>
<div class="overflow-y-auto p-4" dir="ltr"><code class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-bash">fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288<br />
</code></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>Save the file and apply the change with:
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]"></div>
<div class="overflow-y-auto p-4" dir="ltr"><code class="!whitespace-pre hljs language-bash">sudo sysctl -p<br />
</code></div>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
<p>After these steps, the system should allow more <code>inotify</code> watchers, and the error should no longer appear.</p>
