Unable to launch Wireshark GUI on Kali (rPi 4)
Hi All,
Here are the details of my config:
- Linux kali 5.4.83-Re4son-v7l+
- Raspberry Pi 4
- Wireshark 3.4.8
- Using TightVNC in a headless setup
In order to allow my non-root user to run the wireshark GUI, I've done the following:
- sudo groupadd wireshark
- sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER
- sudo chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
- sudo chmod o-rx /usr/bin/dumpcap
- sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap
- sudo getcap /usr/bin/dumpcap
However, I get the following errors:
$wireshark
09:28:56.233 Main Warn XKeyboard extension not present on the X server
09:28:56.244 Main Warn QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-kali'
09:28:56.255 Main Warn The X11 connection broke: Maximum allowed requested length exceeded (code 4) X connection to :1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
I think the first two warnings are just a red herring. Not sure why the wireshark GUI is not launching. Any ideas?
Thanks, Randy
