No Open menu, 7 radio buttons none can be un-selected, none of them in the normal Capture list e.g. Ethernet, MozillaVPN,Adapter for loopback traffic capture, [selected] Local Area Connection* 10 and so on. How can I get the options I see in Windows 10 to show in Ubuntu? I just updated it to latest version. Maybe that did it?
To set up Wireshark on Ubuntu, update your package list with sudo apt update, then install Wireshark using sudo apt install wireshark. During the installation, select "Yes" when prompted about non-superusers capturing packets. After installation, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common, select "Yes" again to allow non-superusers to capture packets, and add your user to the wireshark group with sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER.
I did sudo apt remove wireshark then sudo apt install wireshark but no options such as non-superusers capturing packets were offered. However after your comment I ran it as root and the problem went away. But even without install option, sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common did offer non-superuser option; when I answered "Yes", and now non-superusers also get the good options. Thank you so much, Anders.
