I've noticed there have been some recent (March 13) changes to Wireshark. Previously, when starting, it was necessary to enter the root password. Now, no password is required, but it's no longer possible to select an interface to monitor. This makes it somewhat useless for capturing traffic. About all that can be done is read existing capture files. If opened from a root terminal session, it works normally. I then checked the application in the menu and found the application command had changed from /usr/bin/xdg-su -c /usr/bin/wireshark %f to wireshark %f, which runs it as a mere mortal, in that useless mode. Why was this done? After restoring the full command, it now works properly. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
