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