[Solved] Unable to launch Wireshark GUI on Kali (rPi 4)
Hi All,
Here are the details of my config:
- Linux kali 5.4.83-Re4son-v7l+
- Raspberry Pi 4
- Wireshark 3.4.8
- Using TightVNC in a headless setup
In order to allow my non-root user to run the wireshark GUI, I've done the following:
- sudo groupadd wireshark
- sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER
- sudo chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
- sudo chmod o-rx /usr/bin/dumpcap
- sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap
- sudo getcap /usr/bin/dumpcap
However, I get the following errors:
$wireshark
09:28:56.233 Main Warn XKeyboard extension not present on the X server
09:28:56.244 Main Warn QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-kali'
09:28:56.255 Main Warn The X11 connection broke: Maximum allowed requested length exceeded (code 4) X connection to :1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
I think the first two warnings are just a red herring. Not sure why the wireshark GUI is not launching. Any ideas?
Thanks, Randy
It's the official Kali for Raspberry Pi 4?
"The Raspberry Pi images use Re4son’s kernel,..."
32-bit or 64-bit?
rPi 4 uses 32-bit image for Kali. It's the official image from kali.org.
