Hi Soumik, we would like to inform you that we are routing your query to the dedicated team for further assistance.

[yuzhang3_intel]

Just got the information from the engineering team that SEP build issues on kernel 6.8 are fixed in 2024.2.

[xuuh]

Is there an estimated release date for version 2024.2 ?

[yuzhang3_intel]

By the end of June.

I met the same problem on Ubuntu 24.04 and just tried VTune 2024.2, there was a different error:

Same problem as me! See my post if you are interested.

[yuzhang3_intel]

This is fixed in the coming release 2024.2.1.
