I get this error when starting sonarqube.
I have tried:

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

Which returns:

sysctl: setting key "vm.max_map_count"

And then:

sudo sysctl vm.max_map_count

It still says

vm.max_map_count = 65530

Does anyone know why Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't update vm.max_map_count?

Thanks in advace,

The changes have not been applied on system. Run the sudo sysctl -p command to apply them and check the value again sudo sysctl vm.max_map_count.
