chokidar Unhandled 'error' event on Ubuntu 15.10

Looks like chokidar is not working under Ubuntu. Got this Unhandled error:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: [email protected]
npm WARN [email protected] No repository field.

events.js:141
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Does this work?

npm run open

[mmacedoeu]

Same error.

[coryhouse]

Believe this is related to browser-sync. Can you see if the fix in this thread does the trick? BrowserSync/browser-sync#224

[coryhouse]

More specifically, I believe this is your issue on Linux: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16748737/grunt-watch-error-waiting-fatal-error-watch-enospc

[mmacedoeu]

Confirmed the trick on BrowserSync. It's working now !
