Hello, I open the “Enabled Protocols” dialog box, press Disable All then Wireshark shut down... Is there another way to suppress all the Protocols ?

Can you paste information from "wireshark -v" or Help->About Wireshark.

There is a duct tape and baling wire work around:

  1. Use tshark to grab a list of all protocols: tshark -G protocols
    The protocol name is the last entry on the line:
Lua Dissection  Lua Dissection  _ws.lua
Expert Info     Expert  _ws.expert
29West Protocol 29West  29west

On linux: tshark -G protocols | sed -e "s/.* //" (that's a tab not space in the pattern match)

  1. Take the list of protocols and add them to the disabled_protos file in your profile directory.

  2. Open Wireshark and check the protocols Analyze -> Enabled Protocols...
    At this point a Disable All and Okto disable the remaining heuristic protocols didn't crash the GUI.

This should be fixed in the master branch and in the impending 3.2.0 release.

I'm able to recreate in 3.2.0rc1 (v3.2.0rc1-0-g84fad90e808b)

There was a similar issue in https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/s...

That one has been closed so you can open a new one at https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/
