Hi all,
I am having problems setting up systemtap client/server and would like
to find out,
if it is already known problem before I start debugging the systemtap
code.
Environment:
------------------
I am using ubuntu oneiric 11.10 and systemtap 1.6.
I got the source from git tagged "release-1.6" and built myself. I
believe this is the version that debian uses
The build, in case someone needs it, is available in
https://launchpad.net/~awolfson/+archive/systemtap
Unfortunately, I did not find instructions on setting stap-client/server
on Debian derivatives.
I tried to make a script to automate setup. It is attached
Couple of things seems to go wrong:
-------------------------------------------------
1. sudo su -s /bin/sh - stap-server -c /usr/lib/systemtap/stap-gen-cert
As far as I understand, it suppose to ask for password but it does not
happened.
However the certificate is generated and put in
/var/lib/stapserver/.systemtap/ssl/server/stap.cert
2. sudo su -s /bin/sh - stap-server -c /usr/lib/systemtap/stap-start-server
[sudo] password for awolfson:
/usr/lib/systemtap/stap-start-server: line 51: 6460
Aborted ${stap_pkglibexecdir}stap-serverd "$@" <
/dev/null > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Unable to start a systemtap server: /usr/lib/systemtap/stap-serverd did
not start
3. Attempt to manually start the daemon
-------------------------------------------------------
awolfson@awolfson-T410:/usr/lib/systemtap$ ./stap-serverd
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct null not valid
Aborted
Sorry for that long Email, but I would be greatly appreciated some feedback.
If this is unknown issue, I will try to debug it.
I did not try other systemtap versions yet.
Thanks,
Alex
