Which platform? Did you try with VTune 2025.0?

[FMartin]

I'm on Debian 11.

I haven't tried vtune 2025.0 yet.

[yuzhang3_intel · Accepted solution]

The kernel version is old, could you upgrade to a new kernel version and try?

[FMartin]

Hello,

I have upgraded my kernel to 1.15.**bleep** which seems to have solved my issue.

Thanks.
