I got error "segmentation fault", I want to know the root cause of the problem. How can I enable the logger. Where log files will be dumped.
Wireshark has a method of showing debug messages on the console beyond what is displayed by default. See ~/.wireshark/preferences: ######## Console: logging level ######## # (debugging only, not in the Preferences dialog) # A bitmask of glib log levels: # G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR = 4 # G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL = 8 # G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING = 16 # G_LOG_LEVEL_MESSAGE = 32 # G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO = 64 # G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG = 128 console.log.level: 28 However, this will probably not display useful information since Wireshark is crashing in the middle of something. The way to troubleshoot this type of problem is to use core dumps and a debugger such as gdb. See http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Tips for more details and the link to gdb help. Linux may be like MacOS X, which defaults to disabling core dumps, so you have to enable them first or run Wireshark through gdb.
