Package: latencytop
Version: 0.5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

mango:~# latencytop
mount: none already mounted or /sys/kernel/debug/ busy
mount: according to mtab, debugfs is already mounted on /sys/kernel/debug
No protocol specified


Its already mounted, but that should not matter:

mango:~# mount  | grep debug
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)


When unmounting it I get:

mango:~# umount /sys/kernel/debug
mango:~# latencytop
No protocol specified


Then after another try:

mango:~# latencytop
mount: none already mounted or /sys/kernel/debug/ busy
mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /sys/kernel/debug
No protocol specified


Maybe it doesn´t work cause current Debian kernels do not have latencytop
support enabled:

mango:~# grep LATENCY /boot/config-*
/boot/config-3.2.0-2-amd64:CONFIG_HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT=y
/boot/config-3.2.0-2-amd64:# CONFIG_LATENCYTOP is not set
/boot/config-3.3.0-trunk-amd64:CONFIG_HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT=y
/boot/config-3.3.0-trunk-amd64:# CONFIG_LATENCYTOP is not set
/boot/config-3.4-trunk-amd64:CONFIG_HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT=y
/boot/config-3.4-trunk-amd64:# CONFIG_LATENCYTOP is not set

(Using 3.4 here.)


Okay, verified. These are two bugs.

latencytop tries to connect X server by default. When I try from a sux
session I indeed get:

ms@mango:~> sux
Passwort: 
xauth:  file /root/.Xauthority does not exist
bash: Kann die Prozessgruppe des Terminals nicht setzen (-1).: Unpassender 
IOCTL (I/O-Control) für das Gerät
bash: Keine Job Steuerung in dieser Shell.
mango:/home/ms# latencytop
mount: none already mounted or /sys/kernel/debug/ busy
mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /sys/kernel/debug
Please enable the CONFIG_LATENCYTOP configuration in your kernel.
Exiting...


So I let this bug be about the X.org support and how to enable ncurses
and create another one for the missing support for it in the kernel. I
will cross-reference them.


Bug #628883 is related, but it refers to improving the manpage. This one
is about getting latencytop to run out of the box again.

Thanks,
Martin
