[lttng-dev] example/demo not working

[Ashish Sangwan]

Hi,

I am trying to use lttng library to trace user space.
I have installed the packages on Ubuntu as mentioned here :
http://lttng.org/download/#ubuntu
Also, I have download the git snapshot from
http://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-ust.git;a=snapshot;h=HEAD;sf=tgz and
built the sources.

When I am trying to execute any of the application in example
directory I am not able to get the trace.
I have added myself to the tracing group using usermod and than did
the following:
ashish at ashish-pc:~/lttng/lttng-ust-HEAD-f4624de/doc/examples/demo-tracelog$ pwd
/home/ashish/lttng/lttng-ust-HEAD-f4624de/doc/examples/demo-tracelog
lttng create
lttng enable-event -u "lttng_ust_tracelog:*"
lttng start
./demo-tracelog
lttng stop

All the above commands were successfully completed. But when I am
trying to view the trace I am getting error.

ashish at ashish-pc:~/lttng/lttng-ust-HEAD-f4624de/doc/examples/demo-tracelog$
lttng view

lttng destroy
Session auto-20160524-185123 destroyed

I will appreciate any help.

Regards,
Ashish

PS: BTW, installing lttng-modules-dkms failed for me (kernel version
3.19) with below error:
