greetings.

on laptop with new install of centos 6.8 and current update, wireshark
will not start via kde kickoff application launcher. it will start from
start from a terminal.

"locate wireshark|grep bin/" show 2 paths for wireshark;

  /usr/bin/wireshark
  /usr/sbin/wireshark

opening kde menu editor show simple command 'wireshark'. changing to;

  /usr/bin/wireshark

failed. changed to;

  /usr/sbin/wireshark

failed.

do not know about Denmark, but something is rotten here with install.

with previous system install, wireshark worked from kde menu w/o any
problem.

to verify install ran yum to delete, then reinstalled, same problem.

question, what might be causing this and how to cure.

as always, any and all help, comments, suggestions greatly appreciated.
