I installed Wireshark on Ubuntu. It does not appear to be able to see
any network interfaces when running as an unprivileged user, and only
captures if I run it with sudo, which is a security risk, since it
shouldn't be running as a privileged user. How can I run a capture
without running wireshark as a privileged user?

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be a security risk if an unprivileged user could see the
contents of every network packet?
