OK - that solved the setcap problem, but after running: sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap
I still get the same error message from wireshark: "No interface can be used for capturing in this sytem with the current configuration. (couldn't run /usr/bin/dumpcap in child process Permission denied)" I also tried the following (based on the same help page at https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges but still no luck: [solomon@shlomo1 /]$ sudo chown root /usr/bin/dumpcap [solomon@shlomo1 /]$ sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/dumpcap [solomon@shlomo1 /]$ sudo chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap [solomon@shlomo1 /]$ sudo chmod o-rx /usr/bin/dumpcap On Mon, 13 Jun 2016 20:55:31 +0300 Shlomi Fish <shlo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Shlomo, > > On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 7:30 PM, Shlomo Solomon > <shlomo.solo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Yes - I did add my user is in the wireshark group but that didn't > > help. > > > > As I wrote, the help screen suggests running: > > setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap > > > > but that results in: > > sudo: setcap: command not found > > > > > urpmf on Mageia 5 x86-64 indicates that setcap is part of the > libcap-utils package, which you can install using urpmi or whatever. > As usual on Mageia, using "urpmf" (urpm-find) can be very helpful. > > Regards, > > -- Shlomi > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-il mailing list > Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il > http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il > > > -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by Claws Mail 3.11.1 - KDE 4.14.5 - LINUX Mageia 5 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
