Hi everyone, I've been using wireshark for a long time and all went perfectly until a week ago I tried to sniff my network traffic and it crashed when I hit the start button. It does not matter what interface I pick, it always crashes when trying to capture packets. It seems like problems came along with the new version (1.10). I do not remember what version I was using before (last time I used wireshark was one year ago or so). I tried falling back to 1.8 but it's even worse, it crashes on startup. Here it's the error reported in the command line: Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+3.0-3.8.1+git20130422.0ce7854a/./gtk/gtkwidget.c:14133:gtk_widget_unregister_window: assertion failed: (user_data == widget) [1]+ Aborted (`core' dumped) wireshark OS: Ubuntu 12.10 x64 Edit: I tried to open a capture file in wireshark to try to isolate the problem. Wireshark also crashes when loading the "main packet analysis window" Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
There is a bug with that error message, however it is marked as FIXED. Can you please try to use a more recent (latest) version of Wireshark? Regards |
OS, Wireshark and WinPCap versions please.
what kind of software did you install during that week? Probably another tool/software that uses GTK+ ??
Also, as a first workaround measure you might want to delete all your Wireshark profile files to see if it starts up then. Best would be to backup them to a save location first, so if the profile is the problem it may be possible to determine from the backups what exactly the problem was.
I am sorry if I did not explain myself correctly. I have been using wireshark for half a year or so, then I stopped using it for a year and when I went to use it again (last week) it crashed. The amount of software I have installed ever since is tremendous. I also tried removing ~/.wireshark but did not work.
