I think you should look into the lttng-sessiond --help :

      --consumerd32-path PATH     Specify path for the 32-bit UST consumer daemon binary
      --consumerd32-libdir PATH   Specify path for the 32-bit UST consumer daemon libraries
      --consumerd64-path PATH     Specify path for the 64-bit UST consumer daemon binary
      --consumerd64-libdir PATH   Specify path for the 64-bit UST consumer daemon libraries

options. My guess is that lttng-sessiond is not able to find the
consumerd binary files, maybe due to a rename or because they have been
moved after install.

One more thing that might help is to launch the lttng-sessiond with
"-vvv" : it will provide verbose output and let us know where things
fall apart.

Thanks,

Mathieu
