Oh I see the problem, you don't have any events enabled! In LTTng terms, 
a "context" is a piece of information that gets attached to every event. 
But if you don't have any event at all, you're not gonna see much 
context information. ;)

Try adding a
# lttng enable-event -a -k
before starting the session. This should give you some output in the 
viewers.


Cheers,
Alexandre
