Hello all, I installed wireshark on Ubuntu 10.4 with Synaptic, but in Capture Options I don't see any interfaces? Some one know what is wrong here? Thanks for the support Sincerely Herman asked 06 Jan '11, 03:13  blakkie edited 28 Feb '12, 20:14  cmaynard ♦♦ |
One Answer:
Your dumpcap program needs elevated privileges. Either look to setuid dumpcap as root, create a wireshark group with elevated privileges, setgid dumpcap to that group, and add yourself to that group. Another, but bad, option is to run wireshark with root privileges. There's a good blog entry by Gerald on this issue. answered 06 Jan '11, 15:02  Jaap ♦ |
