Unable to run General Exploration analysis (for Sandy Bridge)

[guidovaessen]

When I try to run General Exploration Vtune Amplifier XE 2011 Update 5 (build 186533)
display's the following warning:
Collection failed. The data cannot be displayed.
Error: Problem accessing the sampling driver. The driver may need to be (re)started.

And the console display's: Error in sampling collector. Error code - 87

CPU: Intel 2600K (Sandy Bridge)
OS Linux Kubuntu 11.04 64-bits.
Vtune Amplifier XE 2011 Update 5 (build 186533)

I don know what could cause this error or how it can be solved.
