Tshark issue on ubuntu

0

When i gave following command on ubuntu

tshark -2 -F pcap -r tcpdump.pcap -R "tcp and ip" -w write.pcap

1) used -F pcap option i want e.pcap in old pcap format.

problem/issue :- When i open write.pcap it has loosed his old time/date

i.e. tcpdump.pcap in its Time column is having 26 July 2014 with some time 10.12.34 , but in write.pcap it comes to 1970-01-01 with time 00.00.00 in Time column.

If i use -w option i will give raw packet but why it is loosing Time from it. i.e. i want my Time to be intact rather that going to default time.

Is any way to correct this situation with option or anything else.

What version of Wireshark is this? (What does tshark -v print?)

We'd probably need to see the original capture file to reproduce the problem. You might consider first upgrading to the latest version (currently 1.12.1) and if that doesn't help then open a bug report (it's easier to attach files there).

Looks like the same (or similar) error that was reported in another question:
