running wireshark-gtk on Mageia

[Shlomo Solomon]

OK - that solved the setcap problem, but after running:
sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap

I still get the same error message from wireshark:

"No interface can be used for capturing in this sytem with the current
configuration. 
(couldn't run /usr/bin/dumpcap in child process Permission denied)"



I also tried the following (based on the same help page at
https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges 
but still no luck:

[solomon at shlomo1 /]$ sudo chown root /usr/bin/dumpcap
[solomon at shlomo1 /]$ sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/dumpcap
[solomon at shlomo1 /]$ sudo chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
[solomon at shlomo1 /]$ sudo chmod o-rx /usr/bin/dumpcap
