Description of Problem: When I try to run ethereal, it doesn't simply work. When I try to run it under non-root user, it asks for password and that's all, no ethereal after that. When I try to run it under root user, it's the same but of course, without password asking. No errors here and strace looks normally ;( [root@dhcp212 root]# ethereal [root@dhcp212 root]# And nothing happens, no error message, ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@dhcp212 root]# rpm -q ethereal glibc gtk+ ethereal-0.8.18-9 glibc-2.2.4-19 gtk+-1.2.10-11 [root@dhcp212 root]# How Reproducible: Simple try to run ... Actual Results: Non working utility Expected Results: Working utility ;)
Maybe this can be helpfull for you ... connect(3, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path="/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}, 19) = 0 ... and next message abuse ... read(3, 0xbffff880, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
I'm so sorry, I missed that ethereal is splitted into two packages ethereal & ethereal-gnome for GTK+ interface, it works now very fine for me. So, again, I'm sorry for disturbing with this ...
Looks like ethereal should "require" ethereal-gnome since it no longer works without it.
I agree with previous poster; there is no need to NOTABUG this. As far as I can tell the ethereal package is useless without ethereal-gnome installed, and it gives exactly no indication of why it doesn't work when ethereal-gnome isn't installed.
Fixed in version 0.9.0-2 available via rawhide in the next couple of days. Read ya, Phil
