Well, I don't know what was wrong but going manually through cd /etc and using sudo nano sysctl.conf to edit solved my issue.

    You need to add admin:// to the beginning of the full path to your preferred file to use the GVfs admin backend.



    Since you're trying to open the /etc/sysctl.conf file, you need to run



    gedit admin:///etc/sysctl.conf

    • Well i did "gedit admin:///etc/sysctl.conf" without doing anything. It didn't do anything.

    • @Prabeshbhattarai Then you probably don't have gvfs-backends installed. Install it first by running sudo apt install gvfs-backends, after that run gedit admin:///etc/sysctl.conf.

    • The gvfs is already installed. It says, "** (gedit:20502): WARNING **: 15:38:54.588: The specified location is not mounted"
