No Interfaces Available Using Wireshark on Mac OSX | Comments (3)

Posted in Code, Linux/Unix on 2nd June 2008, 8:10 am by Stuart

On my previous Macbook Pro I’d used Ethereal and I don’t remember having many issues with it as I was able to run it as sudo so that I had privileges for sniffing packets. Since then Ethereal has become Wireshark and it’s now available with a nice appication wrapper as a launcher for running it under X11

After opening wireshark for the first time I had an issue that there were no interfaces to choose from due to lack of permissions. This link provides a neat solution to the problem by providing a start-up item to set the relevant permissions correctly.

The nub of the solution is to make sure you have permission to read /dev/bpf*

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
