What are the dependencies/packages I need for this action to run?

Hi, first of all this is a great action for GH. When running on Github runner it works great, however, it has problems running inside the docker image.
At first it couldn't start inside the docker, until I added "sudo" to Ubuntu docker image. Now I can see "Step Trace" chart, "Process Trace" is showing but without information, and memory, CPU etc are not showing at all.

I can see some errors in the log:

[Workflow Telemetry] Finishing step tracer ...
[Workflow Telemetry] Finished step tracer
[Workflow Telemetry] Finishing stat collector ...
##[debug][Workflow Telemetry] Triggering stat collect ...
Error: [Workflow Telemetry] Unable to finish stat collector

The "start" step in the workflow doesn't show any errors.

I suppose I need to add some packages to Ubuntu for this to work, do you maybe know which one?
Thanks!

This action uses EBPF to trace two system calls so the correct way to run it is actually:

sudo docker run --privileged -ti catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest /bin/bash -v /sys/:/sys/  

This mounts the system tracepoints (/sys/) part into the docker image and it gives it root access rights. Allowing the tracer to hook into the system.
