-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I understand that. I've used Ubuntu before, but it should prompt you for your user password just like any of the programs in System -> Administration does. Try one of the other programs like System -> Administration -> Login Window. If that doesn't prompt you for a password, then the issue isn't with wireshark. I would guess the problem is with your sudo configuration. Can you get a root prompt from typing 'sudo su' in Gnome Terminal? If it errors out, post the error.
