Description Christian Stadelmann 2015-09-26 17:56:07 UTC

Description of problem:
Fedora kernels (non-debug version) have CONFIG_LATENCYTOP disabled. Latencytop won't work but throw an error that you need the CONFIG_LATENCYTOP option in your kernel enabled.
I suggest making latencytop require kernel-debug so it will automatically pull in a debug kernel on installing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latencytop-0.5-14.fc22.x86_64

Comment 1 Michal Schmidt 2015-09-28 15:24:40 UTC

I will not add this dependency. Non-debug Fedora kernels in F23 and Rawhide already have CONFIG_LATENCYTOP enabled (see bug 1013225), so this problem will go away by itself.
Even if this were not the case, I'd hesitate to add the dependency, because sometimes I just want to run latencytop on non-packaged custom built kernels.
