Running WireShark as normal user in Ubuntu

0

Ive just installed WireShark and the only one visible interface is bluetooth. When run as root - all physical interfaces are visible. Why is that? And how I make Wireshark to see all interfaces when running as normal user?

Look at the Capture Privileges page on the Wiki, especially the section "Debian, Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives". Also there are a number of similar questions on this site with the answer, e.g. https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/7523/ubuntu-machine-no-interfaces-listed
