Wireshark normal user setup issues

Post by KYJazzyJeff »

Just installed Wireshark not to long ago. When I got to the window where it asks me how I want 'wireshark-common' to be configured (non super-user being able to capture packets), I selected 'yes' Then when I launched Wireshark, it was somehow not able to see anything on my network. So then I opened a command line, ran sudo dpkg-reconfgure wireshark-common and changed my super-user capture switch to no. That made everything show up, but I still don't have permission to capture anything. What am I doing wrong here? :?
