Package: wireshark Version: 2.2.4+gcc3dc1b-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I installed wireshark today choosing the non-default option of
creating a wireshark group so that non-admin users can run it.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Trying to start capturing from the network interface resulted in the
error message “you don't have permission to capture”.
This is what I had to do to get capture to work:
sudo chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap
