When `perf` isn't in `$PATH`, the "Start Recording" button in "File" > "Record Data" is disabled. However, the reason isn't communicated to the user.

When
perfisn't in$PATH, the "Start Recording" button in "File" > "Record Data" is disabled. However, the reason isn't communicated to the user.
Describe the solution you'd like
Indicate to the user that the problem is that perf isn't in $PATH (usually because it's not installed).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Add perf as a dependency. It wouldn't make much sense as a mandatory one, but would as an optional one.

RokeJulianLockhart1y agoWe only support the hotspot appimage so we can't add perf as a dependency.
@lievenhey, suggested at bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2362693.
milianw1y agoI'll add perf as a runtime dependency in our CMake code too, to communicate this dependency better to our packagers
We only support the hotspot appimage so we can't add perf as a dependency. But I will make it more clear to the user that perf is not installed.
