Ahh that was it. I suggest you change the wording from:

"Package lttng-tools is required for userspace tracing. After running Qemu, LTTng
should be able to list all available events:"

to

"Package lttng-tools is required for userspace tracing. While running
and instrumented Qemu, LTTng should be able to list all available events:"

> Does lttng enable-event -a -u/start/stop/view show any event?

Yes, as I said the rest worked fine. With that minor wording fix I'm happy.

Thanks for getting this back into shape :-)
