Do not be panic. This annoying errors can be solved with these steps:
- Go to Edit menu and select Preferences
- From the left pane, select Name Resolution
- For SMI (MIB and PIB) paths, click Edit button
- Click New button, in the SMI paths windows
- In the name text box, type /usr/share/snmp/mibs/
- Click OK..OK..OK
- Restart Wireshark.
You may also have trouble capturing anything at this point. Because Wireshark don't see any interface. To solve this issue, do this on your shell:
chgrp admin /dev/bpf*
chmod g+rw /dev/bpf*
Restart Wireshark and everything should work smooth.
All the best! Happy sniffing! :-)
