Wireshark crashes in the “Enabled Protocols” dialog box

edit

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.
