Solved Wireshark no interfaces as wheel-user

kAldown · Apr 11, 2015

Hello.

I have a problem with no interfaces to choose, being wheel group user.
Even with:

Code:

% tail -3 /etc/devfs.conf

own    /dev/bpf*    root:wheel
perm    /dev/bpf*    0640

But it possible under root.

Have you restarted devfs? Are the permissions actually as they need to be on the device?

Yes, restart, and even reboot.

Code:

% ls -l /dev/bpf*
crw-r-----  1 root  wheel  0xe Apr 11 21:39 /dev/bpf
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    3 Apr 11 20:28 /dev/bpf0 -> bpf

IIRC, it's

Code:

own      bpf     root:wheel
perm     bpf     0640

The same here. Anyone?

Works for me with what DutchDaemon wrote on 10.1-STABLE and the most recent net/wireshark-qt5.

What FreeBSD and Wireshark versions are you using?

Under KDE4, solution is add to .xinitrc:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde.

Now it works.
