wireshark in ubuntu 11.04

0

I have tried to install Wireshark in the usual way: #sudo apt-get install wireshark. It didn't work. I think that's because Ubuntu 11.04 is not supported anymore. But I need to use it, because my VM with Ubuntu 11.04 is customized to my application. What should I do? Please, I need a step to step procedure, because I`m a dumb user in Ubuntu. Thanks a lot. Luiz Carlos, Brazil.

How did it look like when you say "it didn't work"? Does APT say that Wireshark doesn't exist, or what is the error message? Have you verified that the Wireshark package is available in the repository at all (using "sudo apt-cache search wireshark")?

sudo apt-get install wireshark. It didn't work.

I guess, by "It didn't work" you mean the command returned with an error. If yes, please, add the error message. If no, please tell us what the problem is?

because my VM with Ubuntu 11.04 is customized to my application.

If it's a customized system, maybe somebody changed the install servers in /etc/apt/sources.list. Please check if that file is identical with the file in a plain Ubuntu 11.04 installation.
