Hi- I recently installed ChrUbuntu on my Acer C7 ChromeBook in a dual boot configuration. While running ChrUbuntu I downloaded and installed Wireshark. It does not see any ethernet adapters, wireless or wired. Has anybody tried this and if so how did you get it to work? Thanks! asked 04 Jan '13, 10:36  snivvy |

Please check if the Capture Privileges are set properly on ChrUbuntu. Regards answered 04 Jan '13, 10:41  Kurt Knochner ♦ edited 04 Jan '13, 10:43 |
setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap Running this command got Wireshark to see my wlan interface on the Samsung ARM chromebook. answered 10 Feb '13, 12:49  cryptoOCDrob |
I'm not a Linux expert, but I am running as administrator. Should it work as administrator?
I don't know what "administrator" means on ChrUbuntu.
From what I can tell this is a group that allows you to do sudo. Which is perfect if you want to implement the changes as described in Capture Privileges. Yes, this could/should be done automagically, go yell at the Ubuntu packagers.
