Ah so it was already nominated for Hardy. It seems the problem also exists in Intrepid as well, so I will nominate for that.

I marked bug #247728 and bug #182671 as duplicates of this one. Although the latter predates this one, this bug as received more attention. Upgrading status to Triaged, hopefully a developer can fix this soon. Downgrading importance to Medium (has a severe impact on a non-core application) - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance Will specifically nominate for Hardy.

I have the same problem running the most up-to-date Hardy packages as of this posting.

If I run from the command line via sudo, I don't get a complaint from Wireshark about running as root, nor does it hang.

[Bug 198884] Re: Wireshark 0.99.7 halted in Hardy
After some digging with people from #ubuntu-bugs (Thanks to james_w and crimsun!) we've narrowed the issue down a bit: First off, this only happens with gksu; kdesu is not affected. The problem seems to be dumpcap, the utility which actually captures the packages. A child process is created once the 'Interfaces' window is opened. To close the window again, wireshark expects dumpcap to terminate. But it does not quit, most likely due to problems with gaining capabilities (cf. dumpcap.c ~ line 501+). dumpcap may request something that gksu is not willing to give. Related upstream bugs might be: http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2288 (fixed) http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1740 (still open) The strange thing is, that there are multiple reports from people who are using wireshark through gksu without any problems. -- Wireshark 0.99.7 halted in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

When I started wireshark from the cli using gksudo I got a window popping up warning me about running applications as root. I needed to close that to use the application.

Using gksu, capture via Capture-Options does work. The hangup does only happen if you try to close the 'Interfaces' window. If you manually kill the dumpcap child process, wireshark will resume and start the capture. -- Wireshark 0.99.7 halted in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this is still happening with hardy updated as of today.

I can confirm now that this is happening. Calling wireshark in a terminal through sudo works fine, but with gksu (i.e. su-to-root) wireshark freezes when I try capturing packages.

Note that this might be a problem with gksu. Can anybody verify if this is happening in KDE (Kubuntu) as well? If it's isolated to GNOME, gksu is most likely our problem. If it's not, it's either a common issue of gksu and kdesu or something with the su-to-root script. -- Wireshark 0.99.7 halted in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
