Hi Kienan, 
 like you asked i stopped all the lttng-sessionds. I did ps aux | grep lttng-sessiond to locate the processes and sudo kill to terminate them. When I ran sudo lttng-sessiond I got this error and this warning 

Warning: No kernel tracer available

There are two issues in the screenshot you attached:

   1. You are not starting lttng-sessiond as the root user, you are
running it as the user 'philippe'
   2. The error in the screenshot indicates that there is already
another lttng-sessiond running.

Could you please stop all of the lttng-sessionds, then run
`lttng-sessiond -vvv` as the root user?

thanks,
kienan
