[lttng-dev] A problem

[Alexandre Montplaisir]

Hi,

You need to be root to use the kernel tracer, or alternatively, your
user needs to be in the "tracing" group. But on a single-user machine it
might be a bit more simple to just use "sudo".

The quickstart example uses the root user directly, which is why the
commands start with "#".

Replace this with "sudo lttng create mysession"

and "sudo lttng enable-event -a -k" here

Let us know if you still have problems. The Oneiric packages in the PPA
are still fresh, so testing is appreciated ;)
