I have TDE running on Squeeze. I need to run wireshark as root. Can I? Or have I hit a fatal flaw in Trinity? :-(
I.e. has anyone got a viable workaround for it (other than learn how to set sudo up.)
you'll need sudo-trinity instead of sudo.
Thanks Nic, but I don't want to have to use sudo at all if I can avoid it. I want to use su with a gui, which means kdesu since I am running Debian and Trinity, and I am hoping that someone has a workaround that I can use to do it.
If i remember right, kdesu is from KDE4, not trinity. Trinity comes with kdesudo.
but if it's just wireshark, then you can write a wrapper script, create a shortcut which calles the script using a terminal (for the root password), something like this:
#!/bin/sh xhost +localhost su -c "DISPLAY=:0 wireshark &" exit
