Description Philippe Troin 2012-06-22 16:53:01 UTC

Description of problem:
Upon starting wireshark as a regular user (belonging to the wireshark group), wireshark does not work.

A dialog saying:

Couldn't run /usr/bin/dumpcap in child process: No such file or directory

And then no capture is possible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wireshark-1.6.8-1.fc17

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run wireshark
  
Actual results:
The dumpcap dialog appears
Live capture is impossible

Expected results:
No error messages.
Live capture should be possible

Additional info:
It looks like adding /usr/sbin to one's PATH makes wireshark happy.

/usr/sbin has been in default PATH of all users for quite long time, see /etc/profile. What shell do you use?

Comment 2 Philippe Troin 2012-06-25 15:36:05 UTC

I'm using zsh but with heavy customizations.
I wasn't aware that sbin is now in the default path.

Sorry for the noise.
