Package: wireshark Version: 1.4.4-1 Severity: normal Per the README.Debian, I have added my user to the 'wireshark' group (this group did not already exist). On relaunching wireshark I still had no interfaces available for sniffing. When I run as root, my interfaces are available to use.
Here are the commands I ran: $ sudo groupadd wireshark $ sudo usermod -a -G wireshark me I also tried: $ sudo addgroup --system wireshark Thanks -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wireshark depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-1+squeeze2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpcap0.8 1.1.1-2 system interface for user-level pa ii libportaudio2 19+svn20110317-1 Portable audio I/O - shared librar ii libwireshark0 1.4.4-1 a network packet dissection librar ii libwiretap0 1.4.4-1 a network packet capture library - ii libwsutil0 1.4.4-1 network packet dissection utilitie ii wireshark-common 1.4.4-1 network traffic analyzer - common ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime wireshark recommends no packages. wireshark suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
