Hi Francis,

I'll start with the obvious stuff. After the "enable-event" command
fails (btw, could you give the exact commands you run?), please check:

1. Is there an "lttng-sessiond" process owned by the root user active
(ps aux | grep lttng-sessiond) ?
2. Are the LTTng kernel modules loaded (lsmod | grep lttng) ?

If the answer to any of those two is no, you will need to investigate
why that is. Perhaps you could provide the output of "dpkg -l | grep
lttng" to see what you have installed exactly.

Hello, I'm a student at Polytechnique Montreal and we are trying to use
lttng on ubuntu(Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS) but always encounter the same problem :

"Error: Unable to list kernel events: Kernel tracer not available"

This happens even though we are root using the command line : sudo su

We reinstalled the packages multiples time for lttng.org and from this
source : https://launchpad.net/~lttng/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/

We are able to create a session but we can't enable event (kernel tracer
not available) or start tracing (error : no channel found).

If someone has advice on how to deal we this, it would be appreciated a lot.

Thank you,

-Francis R.
