Wireshark not recognizing my network interfaces

KYJazzyJeff · 06-19-2018, 03:42 PM

I had just installed Wireshark on my Intel NUC 6th Gen running Debian 9 and the KDE desktop. What's interesting is that Wireshark can somehow see any network interfaces at all (being run as non-root for the first time), but the big thing is that it can't see my WiFi and the Ethernet interface comes up with the name enp3s0 instead of eno1 as it does on my other workstation, and no traffic comes through it that I can see, not even DNS. Also, Bluetooth appears in the interface list here, it does not on my other workstation.

Where did you download the WireShark, have you check whether hash of the file if it's available whether it has not been rigged while it was being downloaded.

Finally figured out what was wrong after all this time. Hadn't done the sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common thing yet in order to enable dumpcap, but for some odd reason, I wasn't given the opportunity to during the initial installation of Wireshark. Now everything works just great!

Glad you got it sorted out.
