Hi SuSE 9.0 / 2.421-144-athlon Etheral V 0.9.14 choosing eth0 as interface under preferences / Capture and after that Capture / start - I get the following err-msg: "the capture session could not be initiated (socket: Operation not permitted). Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that you have the proper interface or pipe specified." Thanks for any help in advance best regards C. Emden

1. Running as "root?" Hi,
when having logged on as root to kde and starting ethereal - everything works fine) when having logged on as USER to kde and starting ethereal from the Console after obtaining root access right : Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
2. check that the interface under capture options is correct.
interface is set to : eth0 since I'm using ADSL via a switch. But how can ethereal be started by a USER then ? best regards C. Emden
you have to run it as root On Wed, 2003-12-10 at 10:24, C. Emden wrote:
