[Bug 209084] [NEW] no run as root in menu in hardy

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Nathan Handler (nhandler):

in hardy beta, there is no option or menu entry to run wireshark as root, this used to be available in gutsy,
this function is quite handy.

WORKAROUND/FIX:

These lines in wireshark-root.desktop simply need to be changed from:

TryExec=su-to-root
Exec=su-to-root -X -c /usr/bin/wireshark

back to:

TryExec=gksu
Exec=gksu -u root /usr/bin/wireshark

** Affects: wireshark (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
