I am trying to use Wireshark on a mac with 10.8.4. The first time I opened it, it said to make sure X11 was installed. X11 no longer comes with mac OS's (as of the release of Mountain Lion) so I downloaded it from MacUpdate. Apparently, X11 can't run on 10.8 at all. After a lot of googling, I found that XQuartz was the new version of X11, but it doesn't seem to help. I don't know if the lack of X11 is the problem, but about 30 seconds after Wireshark opens, it crashes. No windows open and no categories on the menu bar appear before it crashes. asked 12 Jul '13, 09:39  acc |
One Answer:
It's working okay for me: OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) XQuartz 2.7.4 (xorg-server 1.13.0) Wireshark Version 1.10.0 (SVN Rev 49790 from /trunk-1.10). Follow the steps on: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5293 For XQuartz and you should be fine. BTW if you open it from terminal you can view the error it generates. answered 14 Jul '13, 03:39  Edmond |
Thanks for the response! After sifting through the error messages in console, I found that I had "Conduit" (spyware?) installed, and that was what was causing it. I deleted all traces of "Conduit" and now it works great!
Acc, if my reply was a answer (resolution) to your questions please except it as an answer by checking it. Thanks, Edmond.
