## Problem/Question

On a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 LTS install the applications, users, etc graphs are missing. I have another Ubuntu 22.04 system using the same version including kernel and this does not have this issue.

## Relevant docs you followed/actions you took to solve the issue

I noticed the service has an error message for ebpf plugin which the other system does not have.

I was able to fix the issue partly by fixing the file permissions up.  
chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root netdata 585616 Jun 13 20:28 apps.plugin

The problem is that now i am noticing lots of the below errors in the logs.

```auto
022-06-14 12:39:28: apps.plugin ERROR : MAIN : Cannot process /proc/1/io (command 'systemd') (errno 13, Permission denied)

Hello @steve5518 and welcome in our community. You shouldn’t have to change permissions by yourself. Let me forward your ticket (internally)

Hello @steve5518,

Welcome to our community.  
Firstly let me do a question to try to replicate the issues, because my VM running Ubuntu 22.04 does not have these issues when I compile netdata from scratch. How did you install your netdata?

About the error “Your environment does not have BTF file /sys/kernel/btf//vmlinux. The plugin will work with ‘legacy’ code.” , this means that on Ubuntu they did not compile the current kernel ( 5.15.0-33-generic #34-Ubuntu) with support to `BTF` files, so instead to use trampolines, `ebpf.plugin` is forced to use kprobe.

Considering everything you wrote until now, it looks like that at the end of the installation, the plugins were not set with correct permissions. Both `apps`and `ebpf` needs this special permission, because they are touching files that were made by user `root`.

Best regards!
