Unable to load file
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Installing wireshark via flatpak, I am unable to load a "pcap" file.
When I try to load a file, the "open file" dialog shows me a nearly empty file system.
this is expected:
You can load and save files from your "public" folder. To add further exceptions to this policy, you can run smth like flatpak --user override --filesystem=/path/to/read-write:rw org.wireshark.WireShark.
The upstream bug report is here: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15507
feel free to weigh in there.

If this is expected, it would be great to show this in the description of the flathub page.

Wouldn't it be an alternative to use GTK then? I know this works for other applications.

well. yes, but wireshark does not use GtK :(
I have modified the permissions in the beta build. Can you test that (e.g. https://flathub.org/beta-repo/appstream/org.wireshark.Wireshark.flatpakref)?

It did in the past. And my version still does. So I assumed that this was still an option.

That works like expected. I can now also drop and drop files into Wireshark again.
Thank you.
Fixed in a853a48 by sharing the home directory read-only.
