Follow these steps located here Steps:
-
You can add this line using nano or vim from terminal (ctrl+alt+t):
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
orsudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf
- Where you then scroll down and add the line by hand then press ctrl+x to end editing. You will be asked if you want to save, confirm that by pressing y and then once return to save.
- Same way you can reverse your changes.
-
You can add it as well this way:
echo "net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
- For reversing this refer to solution 1.
Info from VSCode docs:
When you see this notification, it indicates that the VS Code file watcher is running out of handles because the workspace is large and contains many files. The current limit can be viewed by running:
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
The limit can be increased to its maximum by editing /etc/sysctl.conf (except on Arch Linux, read below) and adding this line to the end of the file:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
The new value can then be loaded in by running sudo sysctl -p.
While 524,288 is the maximum number of files that can be watched, if you're in an environment that is particularly memory constrained, you may wish to lower the number. Each file watch takes up 1080 bytes, so assuming that all 524,288 watches are consumed, that results in an upper bound of around 540 MiB.
