https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455918 Summary: Wireshark - running it as root causes X to hang - run as user: no promt for root password Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: willem@neteyes.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer I've just installed Wireshark (wireshark-1.0.4-1.9) on a fresh RC1 install. Running GNOME as DE if that might be of interest. When first trying to run it as normal user I noticed there was no prompt for the root password. Wireshark starts up ok, but there are no interfaces shown or to be selected. When trying to run Wireshark as root (both opening a console using ' su -' or using gnomesu) the user X session hangs. I see the Wireshark application window freezing while attempting to openen and my desktop becomes unresponsive. The mouse pointer still works but no selections can be made. Also the <ALT><CTRL><Fx> combinations don't work.. keyboard looks frozen. There are no specific messages in /var/log/messages. I've set power management to shutdown when pressing the power button, this does the job nicely.. so it's not a total hang. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
