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?

Please update the question with output of wireshark -v.

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.
