Did you logout and login again?

I did logout and logged in again but that did not solve the problem, still no Ethernet interfaces shown. There is a Random Packet Generator and a UDP Listener remote capture but nothing else.

Somewhere I saw that this issue can be an indication that Wireshark did not install completely or correctly. So based on that info I reinstalled using the source file, extracted and compiled.

$ wget https://1.as.dl.wireshark.org/src/wir...

$ tar -xf wireshark-2.6.4.tar.xz -C /tmp

$ cd /tmp/wireshark-2.6.4

$ ./autogen.sh

$ ./configure –enable-setcap-install

$ make

$ sudo make install

$ sudo ldconfig

Thanks to https://linuxtechlab.com/install-wire... for the solution.
