Wireshark not opening after OS X 10.10.3 update

0

I am new to this forum but I am looking for a little help here. Ever since updating to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Wireshark will not open. I was originally running Wireshark 1.12.3 I have also tried upgrading to 1.12.4. It bounces on my dock then closes there is no error code.

Console however puts out:

4/15/15 8:42:26.299 PM cloudd[245]: Failed to create dir at /Users/USER/Library/Containers/com.apple.TextEdit/*/Assets: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "You don’t have permission to save the file “Assets” in the folder “CloudKit”." UserInfo=0x7fd5a9830890 {NSFilePath=/Users/Bubba1/Library/Containers/com.apple.TextEdit/Data/Library/Caches/CloudKit/Assets, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fd5a982f370 "The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted"}

These errors persist after permissions repair as well.

That error is probably something unrelated to Wireshark - it sounds like an error with iCloud Drive and TextEdit.

What did you upgrade from? An earlier version of Yosemite, or a version prior to Yosemite?

What does ls -ld /opt/X11 /usr/X11 print?

and that is after running the other command sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11 and Wireshark still doesn’t run. And when I try to open X11 by itself I do get an error ‘An error occurred while starting the X11 server: “Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn’t already running”

Click Quit to quit X11. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.'

OK, so there’s an underlying problem with X11. What does ps -ef | egrep -i quartz print?

So what does ps -ef | egrep -i x11 print?

OK, no obvious X11 server running (i.e., it appears that there isn't "an X server ... already running", so that's probably not the issue), and the required symlink is present (so the usual fix for X11-on-Yosemite issues isn't relevant here).

Try uninstalling XQuartz, using the "Uninstall (Snow Leopard or Later)" instructions in the XQuartz X11-Users FAQ. Then download the latest version of XQuartz and install it, and see whether you can launch X11 by itself. If not, try rebooting, and try again.

Thank every one for the help. Uninstall of Quartz(X11) and reinstall corrected the issue.
