I am pretty new to wireshark and I read that wireshark shouldn't be run as root because of security issues.

Anyway I did the following as mentioned in several places such as this post:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common

sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER

Then I logged out and in again and used the newgrp command but I can not run wireshark as non root with enough privileges to sniff.

Also I could recognized that the groups command doesn't list wireshark but according to /etc/group my user is in the wireshark group.

Thanks in advance Amit

It seems that for Ubuntu 20.04 you need to reboot the computer. It worked for me.
