Have downloaded that page [1], made a PDF. Will read it and hopefully
something will gel.... but the old brain is not nimble any more.
I believe the short version is:
1. Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common" and select that Yes,
non-superusers should be able to capture packets.
2. Add your user to the "wireshark" group (not sure if there's a UI for
this in settings somewhere, if not, use "usermod -a -G wireshark
$username", possibly with sudo in front.
3. Log out and back in for that to take effect.
It worked, Evan.
First attempt something went wrong, probably typing. Then a couple of
days later I tried again and it worked.
Then I had to drop it again until today.
See my next post re: events that followed - also see text file attached
to that post.
Many thanks
