Bug#808433: nethogs doesn't start, saying "creating socket failed"

[Joe Clifford]

This bug also affects Jessie kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 
3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u1 (2015-12-14) x86_64.


The fix committed in the github repo applied to the nethogs' Jessie 
package sources solves the problem for me, thanks.

Hi,

Just to note same problem with Fedora 23 was fixed by this release. Had to
install libpcap-devel and ncurses-devel to compile, and manually create a
link from /usr/local/sbin/nethogs to /usr/sbin/nethogs so sudo could work,
but worked fine after those tweaks. So +1, this fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Greg

Yes, seems to work as before.

I have released 0.8.1 with the fix.

Could you get it from https://github.com/raboof/nethogs/releases and see if
it works for you, too?


Kind regards,

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your report! I've indeed been able to reproduce the problem with
kernel 4.3.0, and will look into what I can do to fix this.


Kind regards,

Package: nethogs
Version: 0.8.0-1+b2

On Linux kernel 4.3.3-2, nethogs fails immediately:

$ nethogs wlan0
creating socket failed while establishing local IP - are you root?
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.3.0-1-686-pae (debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) (gcc version
5.3.1 20151207 (Debian 5.3.1-3) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-2 (2015-12-17)
$ id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
$ ip link show wlan0
3: wlan0:  mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode
DORMANT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:13:02:99:59:18 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

It worked as I expected on kernel 4.2.6-3 (and many earlier versions).
