July 18, 201411 yr Let me guess, you just did a fresh install of Wireshark on your linux distribution and you can launch Wireshark just find but when you click on Capture you get an error message like the following: There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done I found two ways around this. 1. you can simply run wireshark as root (sudo /usr/bin/wireshark) <-- this is dangerous because you are capturing data and could mess up your system.. so I recommend option 2 but in a pinch you gotta do what you gotta do. OR 2. The more preferred way is just add your user to the wireshark group (sudo usermod -a -G wireshark dhosang)
