wireshark itself is a meta RPM that should pull in wireshark-cli and
wireshark-qt. Make sure those are installed.

Good deal. BTW, Bob, could you set your email system so it doesn't
post HTML to the list? Some of your messages are HTML and some aren't.
Your first post was text only while this last response, for example, was
HTML. Not only that, it was white text on a black background.

That should not happen but apparently
does. Thunderbird is set to send plain
text to users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org.
but to be safe I try to remember to set
it in Options for each message to the
list, when I forget people sometimes
notice as you did. Everything I look at,
well almost everything, is white on
black, optimum for my eyesight.
I will probably not do that again for a
while now that you mentioned it, I try,
knowing others want an ordinary plain
text presentation.
Sorry,

Didn't yum, and other package managers, used to like provide a list of
matching package names in the past? Sort of like an auto-complete,
allowing you to run a 'dnf install wireshark' then display other packages
with <wireshark> in the name for you to choose?

You can always "dnf install wireshark*" to install the lot. Similarly,
"dnf list wireshark*" will list all the wireshark packages.
"dnf install wireshark" should have pulled in wireshark-cli since
that's a prerequisite to wireshark. The "/usr/sbin/wireshark" symlink
to "/etc/alternatives/wireshark" (which is, in turn a symlink to
"/usr/sbin/wireshark-gtk" or "/usr/sbin/wireshark-qt") is created by
either wireshark-gtk or wireshark-qt (the GUI frontends to wireshark),
respectively.
wireshark-gtk (which is what I have installed) lists wireshark-cli and
wireshark as prerequisites.

Now to figure out how I can look at my network activity?
A fairly useful tool there is "iptraf-ng" (available in the repos).
It's a curses-based (terminal) app that shows source and destination
packet addresses, ports, etc. in real time and it supports filters.
It's best if run as root.
We use it to watch servers and such (ssh to the server, run iptraf-ng
in that terminal with a filter that excludes the ssh traffic between
the two systems involved.)

Ok, I have "iptraf-ng" running and can

I'm not sure what I might discover, it's
something Sam Sieb suggested I try in
another thread and I am just getting to

to work through most of them with some
help from this list. They began the

we would construct the barn ourselves.
I'm using a router configured as
awireless ethernet bridge for the radio
link. Getting that to work and provide
adequatesignal levels is interesting, I
just bought another RT-N66 router which
I have reconfigured as the bridge.
Installing DD-WRT on it was problematic
so I struggled with the proprietary
stuff it came with and I think I have
that working, will test it today hoping
for a few db more signal. And then there
are the cameras, everything I buywants
to be configured with Windows it seems,
more problems and so far the vendor is
not much help!
Wireshark won't fix my problems but the

The router being used as an ethernet
bridge presently [WNDR4500, I pick
models compatible with the Tomato
version of dd-wrt] has internal antennas
and no connectors. The new arrangement
will be using two ASUSRT-N66 routers
with three "rubber ducks." Hopefully
that will provide slightly better
performance, although now the signal is
about 18db above the noise floor and
works acceptably. I would like just a
bit more margin if I can get it, without
additional antennas, the distance is
only about 40 or 50 yards but with
intervening walls.
The two cameras I just bought were
Foscam C1, I found yesterday that Foscam
US quit their relationship, and now I am
trying to get tech support from Taiwan I
believe? I'll see what messages come
back next week, their user information
is generally quite good, if you are a
Windows customer, unfortunately I
haven't been able to get access to a
Windows computer, this family is all
Apple stuff and I run Fedora Linux. The
cameras run on some kind of Linux, there

Sounds like your situation would benefit from a pair of semi-directional
antennas. Back before we moved I had an Ubiquiti out in the barn as
'chicken-overwatch' but now I use the same one to upload static images to
Wunderground via a cron ftp job on an Ubuntu vm.
Like my ubiquiti cam you *might* have luck browsing the cameras file
structure. I.e. Im able to ssh into my camera and pull those static images
from a specific dir.. from what I read other models you could pull streams
via VLC and write them to a video file locally.

At 2.5 GHZ antennas are a trade off
between some directional gain and
transmission line loss and they are one
more component to deal with, °and these
routers each have three, I'm not sure
how they are arranged functionally? I
think the receivers are the critical
element. Antennas will be a last resort.
I have two other cameras in other
locations, at least five years old now,
poor quality but still working and
displaying on VLC.
This is not strictly Fedora so I think
any further communication should be off
list or we will hear about the ground
rules, etc.

True.. If you'd like we can continue offline. I will add one further
comment: multiple antennas are typically MIMO (multiple input multiple
output), which is cool unless your endpoint device does not support it.
Which wifi cameras likely don't.

Uhm, yeah. You now have the IP addresses and ports of the cameras.
Open wireshark. On the opening page, click on the network interface
of your machine you're interested in (e.g. "eno1" or whatever).
Then click on "Capture Options". In the "Capture Filter" box, enter:
host <IP address of camera>
and then click "Start". Let it capture data for some period of time,
then hit the big red square to stop the capture. You should now see
data that went to/came from that IP address.

whereis wireshark
Of course that only works if you actually have the package installed.
dnf whatprovides *bin/wireshark
I've found the above tends to provide more initial help.

I think this has been resolved. "dnf install wireshark" does not
install the GUI. The description says it's a meta package that is
supposed to pull in wireshark-cli and wireshark-qt, but only
wireshark-cli is listed as a prerequisite. The symlink chain:
/usr/sbin/wireshark -> /etc/alternatives/wireshark ->
/usr/sbin/wireshark-gtk OR
/usr/sbin/wireshark-qt
is provided by either wireshark-gtk or wireshark-qt, respectively.
So, you need to install wireshark-[gtk|qt] (depending on your desires)
for the GUI to work. I have the GTK version and it lists both wireshark
and wireshark-cli as prerequisites. Does it pull them in when you
install wireshark-gtk? I don't know as I can't recall how I installed
it in the first place (it was long ago...this machine started out as
F20 way back when and it's been upgraded to F25 via yum/dnf in several
steps).
The OP (Bob G.) did a "dnf install wireshark-qt" and it seems
functional for him at this time.

I had to install "wireshark-qt"and
"wireshark-gtk." I did it in that order.
Before that there was no way to start
wireshark, at least no way that I could
think to try ... I think this was a
fresh install but I am not certain.

Yes, but my suggestion tells you really, really quickly if it's
installed or not.

whereis wireshark
And I did "locate wireshark" and found
no "/usr/sbin/wireshark." As soon as I
installed wireshark.cli it would start.
And I had removed and reinstalled
wireshark earlier, before my initial
query here, with no improvement.
$ whereis wireshark
wireshark: /usr/sbin/wireshark
/usr/lib64/wireshark
/usr/share/wireshark
/usr/share/man/man1/wireshark.1.gz
