Check your Current Values you can do this with the following

cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances

By default on Scale BlueFin these will likely return 8129 and 128 Respectively, this will be to low for most users. You Can Change these values in system

system settings > advanced Settings > sysctl section.

It Should be noted that adjusting these values will slightly increase ram usage. Good Values to staart with would be fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288 fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 512
