Hi Jonathan,

You are absolutely right !
I have two different lttng :   find /usr -name "*liblttng-ust*" Ubuntu Pastebin<https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NVtXPhj4fW/>

According to you, what would be the best solution to solve this issue ?

I have indeed a folder named lttng-ust where I have made the (wrong) configure / make.

I tried to (temporary) remove all the libttng* /usr/local/lib/, but I face this problem :
/usr/bin/ld: hello-tp.o: in function `__lttng_events_init__hello_world':
hello-tp.c:(.text+0xe56): undefined reference to `lttng_ust_probe_register'
/usr/bin/ld: hello-tp.o: in function `__lttng_events_exit__hello_world':
hello-tp.c:(.text+0xeb2): undefined reference to `lttng_ust_probe_unregister'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

In the worst case scenario I am able to get my last clean snapchot.

What would you advise me to do ?

Cheers,

Hi Julien,

Finally I had a Vagrant definition file laying around for the stable-2.12 ppa
that let me bring up a vm easily. All seems fine.

How lttng is installed:

  add-apt-repository ppa:lttng/stable-2.12 -y
  apt-get update
  apt-get install -y lttng-tools lttng-modules-dkms babeltrace2 liblttng-ust-dev

From there all the steps for building the userspace application works without
ANY modifications.

The app is able to connect itself to the global sessiond: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QnfqbtgpFF/

Note that no local sessiond is present hence why the app does not communicate
with one.

Note that the user I am using here (vagrant) is not part of the "tracing" group
hence the user cannot interact with the global sessiond.

Such scenario return the following:

  vagrant@ubuntu2004:~$ lttng list -u
  Error: Unable to list UST events: No session daemon is available

Now let's start a lttng-sessiond for the user and restart our app (note that
this is not required for day to day tracing since a running app will connect
itself and only for debugging purpose):

 lttng-sessiond -b
 LTTNG_UST_DEBUG=1 ./hello

Yielding: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MsnHt94FXZ/

Now the app is connected to both sessiond.

Now the user can list the event against the local lttng-sessiond:

  vagrant@ubuntu2004:~$ lttng list -u
  UST events:
  -------------

  PID: 15429 - Name: ./hello
        lttng_ust_tracelog:TRACE_DEBUG (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG (14)) (type: tracepoint)
        lttng_ust_tracelog:TRACE_DEBUG_LINE (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG_LINE (13)) (type: tracepoint)


So based on this I would say that either we are not given the full picture of
what is going on or there is a step you are missing. One explication would be
that you end up linking against a older lttng-ust without knowing it.

Please run this an provide the output via a paste service:

   find /usr -name "*liblttng-ust*"

For example on my VM: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Tjxn3V7g5j/

Cheers
