ptrace: Operation not permitted when attaching gdb to application run in terminal

This happens on Ubuntu from version 10.10 (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Roadmap/KernelHardening#ptrace Protection) when debugging console project with "run in terminal" option enabled.

Here are commented contents of /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf :

The PTRACE system is used for debugging. With it, a single user process
can attach to any other dumpable process owned by the same user. In the
case of malicious software, it is possible to use PTRACE to access
credentials that exist in memory (re-using existing SSH connections,
extracting GPG agent information, etc).

A PTRACE scope of "0" is the more permissive mode. A scope of "1" limits
PTRACE only to direct child processes (e.g. "gdb name-of-program" and
"strace -f name-of-program" work, but gdb's "attach" and "strace -fp $PID"
do not). The PTRACE scope is ignored when a user has CAP_SYS_PTRACE, so
"sudo strace -fp $PID" will work as before. For more details see:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Roadmap/KernelHardening#ptrace

For applications launching crash handlers that need PTRACE, exceptions can
be registered by the debugee by declaring in the segfault handler
specifically which process will be using PTRACE on the debugee:
prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, debugger_pid, 0, 0, 0);

In general, PTRACE is not needed for the average running Ubuntu system.
To that end, the default is to set the PTRACE scope to "1". This value
may not be appropriate for developers or servers with only admin accounts.

Does second to last paragraph perhaps include possible fix?

Temporary workaround (note that this introduces security risk to your system, see Ubuntu wiki page linked above for details):
In /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf change value of kernel.yama.ptrace_scope to 0. This file is read at startup time so you will need to reboot to apply change.
You can also set ptrace_scope to 0 for current session only (it will revert back to 1 after rebooting) like this:

 echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
