FW: [Bug 4293] When wireshark 1.2.2 is installed, the menu entry does not ask for super user permissions, and hence sniffing on any interface is not possible via the menu entry.

[Bálint Réczey <balint.reczey () ericsson com>]

Hi,

Could we list RESOLVED WONTFIX bugs in the default bugzilla bug list?
I think OPEN would not be the right state for this bug, but it would be useful to list it.

Cheers,
Balint

Please don't try to run wireshark as a privileged user.

Please see the following Debian bug for the solution:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544482

The problem is tracked on Launchpad, too:
