wireshark opens and closes immediately after startup (ubuntu)

wireshark opens and closes immediately after startup when started as sudo. When started as a root user in ubuntu, additionally a segmentation fault appears. This happens when building from source code as well as installing using synaptic package manager. Any comments appreciated
