This page is missing some critical details on configuring permissions: https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/USB#Linux Some of the missing details are available in another page. https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges#Most_UNIXes This page should be linked to from the USB page. I was specifically missing the "add user to wireshark group" step, which is found here: https://code.wireshark.org/review/gitweb?p=wireshark.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/README.Debian;hb=HEAD
These instructions might not apply to all distros. Fedora for example seems to require one to add themselves to the "usbmon" group instead of "wireshark". I have updated the page, feel free to edit it if you feel it needs more clarification. -- Kind regards, Peter Wu https://lekensteyn.nl ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
