Everytime I try to run wireshark freezes loading modules, I've tried upgrading, removing even tried older versions. It simply doesn't work or open

Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.7

Would like some help in this matter, thanks

If you run Activity Monitor (open up Applications, go into the Utilities folder inside Applications, double-click Activity Monitor), and sort by Process Name in Activity Monitor (click on the title of the Process Name column), find Wireshark, select it, and then select Sample Process from the "gear" tool menu at the top, what does it show?

It looks as if it's either taking a huge amount of time, or hanging, in the process of loading TLS keys.

Try waiting a few minutes to see if it eventually finishes.

If it does, file a bug report on the Wireshark issue list, noting that loading the TLS keys eventually finishes but takes a long time.

If it doesn't, file a bug report on the Wireshark issue list, noting that loading the TLS keys appears to hang.

This may ultimately be a bug in GnuTLS but, if it's fixed in a version later than the one we use for the macOS builds, we should upgrade to that newer version.
