Description Herbert Poetzl 2012-02-18 02:33:58 CET
Description of problem:
running 'wireshark -k -i -' or the more suited 'wireshark -X
stdin_descr:libpcap -k -i -' results in a dialog stating the followin:

Unknown message from dumpcap, try to show it as a string: 
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_async_queue_push: assertion `queue' failed
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_async_queue_pop: assertion `queue' failed
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_async_queue_pop: assertion `queue' failed
Child dumpcap process died: Segmentation violation

note that the wiki example:
>mkfifo /tmp/pipe
>ssh user@remote-host "tshark -w - not port 22" > /tmp/pipe
>wireshark -k -i /tmp/pipe

doesn't work either, probably for the same reason.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wireshark-1.6.5-1.mga2.x86_64
dumpcap-1.6.5-1.mga2.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wireshark -k -i -
2.
3.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Trying to get this done this week, sorry to be so late here :/

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

Comment 4 Florian Hubold 2012-06-24 15:16:34 CEST
With latest wireshark update in testing (cf https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6543 ) it shows as follows:
[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ LC_ALL=C wireshark -k -i
wireshark: option requires an argument -- 'i'

The same for wireshark -X.
So marking this as resolved.

Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
