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

@Prabeshbhattarai Then you probably don't havegvfs-backendsinstalled. Install it first by runningsudo apt install gvfs-backends, after that rungedit admin:///etc/sysctl.conf.

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