[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 62902] Tomboy won't start, per-user inotify watches limit of 8192 has been reached

[foolswisdom]

Public bug reported:

Tomboy won't start

ENV: Edgy / Tomboy 0.4.1-0ubuntu3

I have been running Tomboy since first clean installing this computer
with Dapper. Dapper has Tomboy 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 in Universal. I upgraded
today, and my real problem is that 0 of 0 articles migrated and now
Tomboy won't start.

I moved my .tomboy directory, and the result is:

$ tomboy
NoteManager created with note path "/home/lloyd/.tomboy".
Writing '/home/lloyd/.tomboy/Plugins/DefaultPlugins.desktop'...
