[06:51] <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
[06:56] <alkisg> Try reporting it to wireshark in launchpad, not in mate...
[06:57] <alkisg> Mate is the desktop environment, wireshark is an unrelated program
[07:08] <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
[07:09] <erle-> the problem is much lower level: access to certain files for members of a group
[07:10] <erle-> also this does not happen with any other method of launching wireshark, only mate launcher
[07:20] <alkisg> erle-: the wireshark package ships the icon for all desktop environments
[07:21] <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
[07:22] <alkisg> The Exec= line there
[07:30] <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
[07:31] <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
[07:32] <alkisg> So you can't fix wireshark issues in the mate code, because it doesn't ship any wireshark launchers
[07:33] <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
[17:14] <Stabington> evenin gents
[17:40] <Stabington> Just installed this distro. It's quite nice
[17:44] <Stabington> Things just kinda work. Haven't really had any issues yet. Feels strange just being able to play wow in peace :D
