CCing back lttng-dev ML. If you have this problem, others have! :)

Ok so this means that you enable all user space event for that session
so you need to have an application that is instrumented with LTTng
userspace tracer (lttng-ust) in order to collect data from that app.
There are multiple examples in the git repository.

For the kernel (-a -k), you need to install lttng-modules and start
lttng-sessiond as root (or set yourself in the "tracing" group).

Hope this help!

Cheers!
