Wireshark won't launch when logged in as root or normal user. I receive segmentation fault in the terminal window every time.
Output from the terminal (the same for both root and normal user):
root@kali:~# wireshark
Segmentation fault
root@kali:~#
Output from gdb:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/wireshark

Any suggestions welcome. Searched the internet for some solutions but came up with nothing. Thanks.

I have tried it already and again today. Unfortunately the problem persists. – Teer – 2017-02-24T18:33:24.800
