Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 10.11 on a single user Lenovo laptop. Wireshark is 1.6.2., libpcap is 1.1.1-8.
To the best of my ability, I set up Wireshark according to 1./b. in /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian, that is, dpkg reconfigured wireshark-common, made a wireshark group and added myself to it so Wireshark itself didn't have to run as root. I'm on this Linux/Wireshark journey because I need to look at USB packets on this computer, and Wireshark has that ability. When I start Wireshark from the Ubuntu GUI, the following four choices show up under the capture Interface List: eth0, wlan0, Pseudo-device..., lo. I can start a capture on wlan or Pseudo... and see all kinds of gobbledegook. But no USB choices appear. After tearing my hair out for a good long time, I mean learning a lot, I asked a person with more Linux experience than I have to take a look. After a while, he tried opening a terminal and typing sudo wireshark Voila, there were the USB interfaces, and they work. So, it seems in my case, to get one of Wireshark's advertised features, I must run it as root, and receive the mentioned warning and the error in the title of this thread. Or, I'm doing something wrong, and I hope one of you will gently point me in the right direction.
