Hello everyone. i installed wireshark /ethereal on my little asus
eee pc with linux xandros. however, when i start wireshark, and open
"options" under "capture", i see no listing in the "interface" drop
down list. i then typed the command "wireshark -D" and i got the
response "there is no interfaces on which capture can be done"????
what do i do?
Type "sudo tcpdump -D" and see what it does.
If it doesn't let you do "sudo", type "su" and, when you get a root
prompt after typing the root password, type "tcpdump -D" and see what
it does.
If it lists some or all of the adapters, try running Wireshark as
root. Capturing packets tends to require root privileges by default;
making the "dumpcap" program installed as part of wireshark set-UID
root could help (so you don't have to run a big program such as
Wireshark or TShark as root).
