Wireshark on TinyCore version 11 - not loading NICs
« on: March 22, 2020, 06:37:19 AM »
Anybody using Wireshark in Tiny Core 11? Can help on changing rights/group of user "tc" so that this user will be able to run Wireshark and access all NICs? Now only running as root shows NICs
In Tini Core version 9 it was working perfectly after installation, there was no need to configure user permissions.
At Ubuntu it is necessary to add user to "wireshark" group. I tried in Tiny but didn't work.
Commands in Ubuntu:
sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER
sudo chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
sudo chmod 750 /usr/bin/dumpcap
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap
But obviously it Tiny Core it is totally different.
Thank you.

How about "sudo wireshark-gtk"?

Wireshark works fine using user root. But it is not recommended.
This is surely a workarround that I am using.
But it is not normal.
Wireshark should work as tc user.
By clicking the Wireshark icon, it should work.
In version 9 it works fine. The problem is version 11

wireshark reposted in tc-11.x x86 repo - could you try it now?
