wireshark: provide helpful error message if user doesn't have permissions to run dumpcap
Last modified: 2021-07-10 13:18:21 UTC
As is stated in bug 1148788 comment 13 we currently have a bad user experience if the user is not a member of the wireshark group. We should introduce a mechanism that provides a clear instruction for the user what the problem is and how it can be fixed. Frederic suggested this patch from Fedora: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wireshark/blob/master/f/wireshark-0002-Customize-permission-denied-error.patch While it should basically work we could improve a bit on it by stat()'ing /usr/bin/dumpcap and find out the actual group membership of the file. This way we're independent of what the permissions profiles do.
