Wireshark cannot see any interface on Ubuntu 13.10

0

Hello everyone,

I've installed Wireshark 1.10.2 through GNS3 (latest release 0.8.6); when I use it outside GNS3, no interface is listed.

What should be done?

See this Wiki Page.

Usually for me it is running this command once:

2. "setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap"

Thanks for your prompt answer.

I've found all the following recommended steps:

sudo addgroup -system wireshark

sudo usermod -a -G wireshark YOUR_USER_NAME

sudo chown root:wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap

sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap

and reboot

Yes, those steps are necessary when not installing from a package I think.
