Eclipse oprofile hasn't worked very well in a virtual machine and is not tested very much. It may work, if the module is manually loaded with timer=1 prior profiling from within Eclipse... Did you verify that oprofile works as expected on the command line? If yes, what sequence of commands did you execute to make it work? > The error is the following when clicking on "Profile As > Profile with > OProfile" in the Eclipse menu: > > "Exit code of opcontrol indicates failure" > > OProfile itself is working and I also executed > "natives/linux/scripts/install.sh" Does this mean that if you use opcontrol in a terminal profiling works for you? If yes, what is the sequence of commands you are executing? > I have also seen some irregularities concerning the unittests of Linux > Tools 0.8.0 for OProfile support. > > https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/linuxtools-Indigo/346/testReport/ Last time I checked all unit tests passed for me locally. I think we can't run oprofile tests in the hudson job since it requires root access and proper installation of consolehelper/no-consolehelper (for the time being).

It should definitely work on a physical machine. Could you try installing latest Linux Tools from updates-nightly[1] and try again. If oprofile fails, it should give you some hints in the Eclipse error log. > Well, shouldn't it work out of the box? Kind of. If you installed Linux Tools from our update-site, you need to set up consolehelper manually. After this step it should work. Let us know how it goes.
