Thanks, the new packages installed fine. My original problem I solved by killing lttng-sessiond and restarting it...

Reporting the installation issue would have been more straightforward. The ppa packages were updated yesterday to fix the issue on installation. Please update (apt update/upgrade) all lttng related packages. Also make sure to install babeltrace (apt install babeltrace) with updated libbabeltrace* dependencies. > apt install -y babeltrace python3-babeltrace > > After lttng create test, I then try > > # lttng -vvv enable-channel k -k --num-subbuf 64 --subbuf-size 512k > DEBUG1 - 08:27:54.415995 [13972/13972]: Channel subbuf num set to 64 > (in cmd_enable_channels() at commands/enable_channels.c:420) > DEBUG1 - 08:27:54.416045 [13972/13972]: Channel subbuf size set to > 524288 (in cmd_enable_channels() at commands/enable_channels.c:384) > DEBUG2 - 08:27:54.416080 [13972/13972]: Config file path found: /root > (in _get_session_name() at utils.c:63) > DEBUG1 - 08:27:54.416087 [13972/13972]: Session name found: test (in > _get_session_name() at utils.c:64) > DEBUG1 - 08:27:54.416099 [13972/13972]: Enabling channel k (in > enable_channel() at commands/enable_channels.c:225) > DEBUG1 - 08:27:54.416129 [13972/13972]: LSM cmd type : 5 (in > send_session_msg() at lttng-ctl.c:135) > Error: Channel k: Kernel create channel failed (session test) > Error: Command error > DEBUG1 - 08:27:54.416479 [13972/13972]: Clean exit (in clean_exit() at > lttng.c:149) I tested ppa stable 2.9 installation on both vanilla 16.04 and 16.04 with the 4.10.0-21-generic kernel provided by linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge. Both works with the updated ppa (update performed by Michael Jeanson). Only had a minor dependency issue with babeltrace but it was fixed by reinstalling it.
