I fully uninstalled Wireshark, reinstalled and tested, seeing the same behaviour. I am guessing some things that hang around after an uninstall/reinstall are causing trouble.Īny ideas? I figure if I can launch it from Terminal, it will launch from Applications. What might be handy to know is how to return to a clean slate before installing XQuartz and Wireshark.

Looks like environment variables are corrupted or missing and the X11 display is not called. (wireshark-bin:37561): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: (process:37561): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. The domain/default pair of (kCFPreferencesAnyApplication, AppleAquaColorVariant) does not exist If quit Wireshark and XQuartz and then try from a regular Terminal window, I get: =

I uninstalled Wireshark using AppDelete and then reinstalled with no change in this one-bounce-and-gone behaviour. Once done, subsequent launches go quicker.) (The long pause at first-run has to do with building a font cache. If I launch XQuartz and then 'wireshark' from an xterm/Terminal window in that X11 environment, Wireshark will appear after several minutes and I can work. I have current versions of XQuartz and Wireshark. I see it bounce once in the Dock and then vanish. While I had it running a bit ago, now I see that I cannot launch it from Wireshark in Applications. It appears that I have a continuing problem with Mavericks and Wireshark.
