[lttng-dev] Kernel tracer not available with lttng compiled in

[Kjeld Flarup]

Thanks for Your reply

I didn't notice the buildin support in the Readme. I think this will bring me further.

Hi,

We will need more information.

What version of lttng are we speaking of here?

What kernel version/tree?

Exactly how did you build your kernel with lttng-modules built-in?

Did you follow this?:

  https://github.com/lttng/lttng-modules/blob/master/README.md#kernel-built-in-support

Cheers
