[lttng-dev] Trace files not getting generated

Hi Carlos,

One thing you could do is to make sure the lttng-consumerd is
installed and accessible by the session daemon. You'll see that in the
lttng-sessiond -vvv logs during the session creation.

It would help us a lot if you could send us the full session daemon
debug output using "-vvv --verbose-consumer".

Could you use the LTTng bug tracker for that so we have a reference in
the future and help us track the issue overtime.

https://bugs.lttng.org

Thanks a lot!
David
