This thread viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10055 alerted me to the need to specify I wanted wireshark-gtk.

So, I installed wireshark-gtk, but it segfaults when I try to run it.

So now what? Library mismatch that is not properly picked up in dependencies?

It segfaults directly on startup, before you see the main window?
It works fine here:

Well, I have not found a solution here. Uninstalled and reinstalled...same problem.

I just pulled out a copy from last May and put it in place. I now get a lua error when it starts, but it seems to be working OK. I need wireshark rather badly right now since I'm doing a lot of USB work and need to sniff the USB line. This will do...

Same problem here. Segmentation fault just before it run.

Sorry. You can delete that thread.
