The "Kernel Trace" is shipped in a separate plugin/feature. In Eclipse's "Install New Software" dialog, it's called "LTTng Kernel Analysis". If this part is not installed, the Kernel Trace type won't be available. The trace import dialog should list all the types that are currently available in the installation. Eventually we'll try to implement some sort of auto-detection (or at least, highlight the types that are known to be compatible with the selected trace). > > BTW, I believe I'm using the latest lttng2.

That was with Eclipse 4.2 and Linux Tools 1.0 installed from the Eclipse repo. I also tried with the current git master. There it imports fine as a Generic Trace too, and correctly fails if I try the Kernel type (that one would never fail in 1.0). It's a relatively big trace too, ~265k events, so it's probably not the 1-packet bug I was mentioning earlier. I'm wondering: - Are you using Eclipse 3.8 or 4.2? On which distro? - Can you try with Linux Tools 1.1? Most of the validation code was (re)written then, so it could have fixed your issue.
