Ubuntu 13.10, Wireshark and No Interfaces (with dpkg reconfigure)

[noloader]

I installed Wireshark on Ubuntu 13.10 (x64). I ran `sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common` and selected YES. I also added myself to the 'wireshark' group. Finally, I rebooted.

I get no interfaces when I launch Wireshark. The UI displays, "Couldn't run /usr/bin/dumpcap in child process: Permission denied". I checked /usr/bin/dumpcap, and its owned by 'root' with group 'wireshark'.

Any ideas?

If you've not done so already you could try the series of steps here: http://www.dickson.me.uk/2012/09/17/...ntu-12-04-lts/

In particular make sure you have done:

sudo chmod 750 /usr/bin/dumpcap


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

then restart for good measure. Check the capabilities are set correctly:

sudo getcap /usr/bin/dumpcap

This got me past your problem, but on 13.10 (but not on 12.04) it left me with another problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/41344...nless-ran-as-r
