Hello,
I'm currently running Linux kernel version 6.5.0-41-generic and
attempting to install LTTng from source. Here are the steps I followed:
- I cloned the LTTng git repository to my computer from
[https://github.com/lttng/lttng-modules.git](https://github.com/lttng/lttng-modules.git) <https://github.com/lttng/lttng-modules.git](https://github.com/lttng/lttng-modules.git)>.
- Downloaded the kernel source tree corresponding to my kernel version
to enable compilation.
- Executed `make KERNELDIR=/path/to/my/linux/source`, which was
completed successfully.
- Ran `make KERNELDIR=/path/to/my/linux/source modules_install`, also
without any issues.
- Finally, I executed `sudo depmod -a`, which was completed successfully.
However, when I attempt to load a module with commands like `sudo
modprobe lttng-ketprobes` or "sudo modprobe lttng-tracer", I encounter
the following errors:
- For `lttng-ketprobes`: `modprobe: FATAL: Module lttng-ketprobes not
found in directory /lib/modules/6.5.0-41-generic`.
- For `lttng-tracer`: `modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'lttng_tracer':
Exec format error`.
If you rebuilt modules on the master branch as of yesterday you may need
to clean the LTTng modules install directory, rebuild, and reinstall.
This is due to kprobes, kretprobes, and uprobes modules being included
in the tracer core module. C.f.

You may want to stick with running lttng-modules 2.13.x which will not
have breaking changes merged in.
The exec format error also could be due to modules that are installed
but built against a different version of the Linux kernel.
A few things to check
- If your kernel has been upgraded recently, ensure the new kernel is
the one actually running
- If the modules haven't been rebuilt since the upgrade, they should be
rebuilt and reinstalled
- As I recall, you are playing around with some addon modules - do any
of those modules define dependencies on the kprobes, kretprobes, or
uprobes modules which now are no longer produced by builds of the master
branch
Is there further information in dmesg or journalctl regarding the module
loading?
hope this helps.
thanks,
kienan
I've confirmed that the modules exist but can't load them. I'm unsure
how to resolve these issues. Could someone please assist me?
Thank you.
