| erle- | my user is in the wireshark group | 06:51 |
|---|---|---|
| erle- | when I launch Wireshark from the launcher, I cannot access network devices | 06:51 |
| erle- | when I launch it from the terminal (without sudo), I can | 06:51 |
| erle- | weird bug | 06:51 |
| erle- | your launcher does not properly set the environment | 06:51 |
| alkisg | Try reporting it to wireshark in launchpad, not in mate... | 06:56 |
| alkisg | Mate is the desktop environment, wireshark is an unrelated program | 06:57 |
| erle- | no, the problem is not wireshark | 07:08 |
| erle- | the problem is that the process is started with the wrong environment | 07:08 |
| erle- | group membership etc | 07:08 |
| erle- | the problem is much lower level: access to certain files for members of a group | 07:09 |
| erle- | also this does not happen with any other method of launching wireshark, only mate launcher | 07:10 |
| alkisg | erle-: the wireshark package ships the icon for all desktop environments | 07:20 |
| alkisg | So if the icon says "run with this group", it does. If it doesn't, it doesn't. | 07:21 |
| alkisg | Specifically, it would be in /usr/share/applications/wireshark.desktop | 07:21 |
| alkisg | The Exec= line there | 07:22 |
| erle- | alkisg, no, there is nothing like run with group | 07:30 |
| erle- | my user is a group member | 07:30 |
| erle- | just running wireshark command is sufficient | 07:30 |
| erle- | no sudo magic or anything | 07:30 |
| alkisg | erle-: you're missing the point | 07:31 |
| alkisg | Whatever it is, it's handled by the wireshark packaging team and code | 07:31 |
| alkisg | The mate developers and code never mention wireshark anywhere | 07:31 |
| alkisg | So you can't fix wireshark issues in the mate code, because it doesn't ship any wireshark launchers | 07:32 |
| alkisg | erle-: see here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/wireshark-gtk/filelist | 07:33 |
| alkisg | The package "wireshark-gtk" ships the file "/usr/share/applications/wireshark-gtk.desktop" which is the launcher | 07:33 |
| alkisg | So any problems with the launcher are to be filed against that package that ships it | 07:33 |
