Description Arnob Alam 2006-02-14 08:53:50 UTC

I am using the gentoo-sources Kernel a Kernel with inotify support and /dev/inotify permissions set to 0644. Beagle complains that inotify isn't enabled.

here is some useful output:

Although this was marked as a duplicate, it is not "fixed" in newer versions. The problem is that your kernel is way to old. Inotify no longer has a device node, it is system-call based, and beagle only works with the syscall interface.

Also in future please use the attachment feature for large pastes.
