[Bug 353278] Re: [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password

[Kent Tong]

I fixed this problem with:

   echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

To make it permanent, create /etc/sysctl.d/60-user.conf with the content
below:

   fs.inotify.max_user_watches=16384

Before applying the fix, I got the errors below:
