I installed wireshark on my F20/Gnome notebook, and yum has kept it updated:
]# grep wire yum* Jan 08 12:34:15 Installed: wireshark-1.10.5-1.fc20.x86_64 Feb 01 20:15:51 wireshark-1.10.5-2.fc20.x86_64: 100 Feb 01 22:06:04 Updated: wireshark-1.10.5-2.fc20.x86_64 Feb 27 13:16:45 Updated: wireshark-1.10.5-3.fc20.x86_64 Mar 21 19:09:59 Updated: wireshark-1.10.6-1.fc20.x86_64 Mar 28 18:31:25 Updated: wireshark-1.10.6-2.fc20.x86_64
Wireshark does not show as an application. I don't see a bin for wireshark, only a bunch of libs.
What may be missing here?
The wireshark package only provides the text mode interface, "tshark". If you are looking for the GUI application, "wireshark", you'll also need to install wireshark-gnome.

And, it should also be mentioned, it would be wise to add oneself to the wireshark group.

Well that is 'obvious' After the fact.
So now I can run wireshark, but it reports permissions denied for dumpcap and to run:
usermod -a -G wireshark rgm
So now I am part of the wireshark group (also wheel group), but still no access to any interface.

I believe that usermod(8) requires *all* supplementary groups to be mentioned in its -G parameter.
-G, --groups GROUP1[,GROUP2,...[,GROUPN]]] A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member of. Each group is separated from the next by a comma, with no intervening whitespace.
Also, you will need to log out and back in of your desktop session before your session "knows" you are in a new group.

I do not understand this point. Running the above command did not remove me from wheel, for example.

ARGH!!!! I hate logging out!!! I have too many apps running 'just right' to logout more than say once a month. (really when I have to reboot when things get doggy)
sigh.

What do you think this is, Windows? ;)
Either open a new console and run wireshark from there, or run the following at an existing prompt to "re-initialise" the shell:
exec su -l $USER

No. And that is why I frequently go a month between boots. Despite all of my travel and suspending (I figured out if I first switch off the external monitor before suspending, it works on this Lenovo).

I have never been successful running gnome on the alternative consoles. Or perhaps, rather, I gave this up as it would always crash things for me and I thus missed out on it now working?
or run the following at an existing prompt to "re-initialise" the shell: |exec su -l $USER|
Worth a try...

Does not seem to do anything. Wireshark still not finding the interfaces. Well, 'who' now lists more logins for me!

For now, you might be able to perform the capture by running tcpdump from commad line as root, and telling it to write packets into a file. Wireshark can open such a file with no additional privileges. E.g. something like this:
tcpdump -i enp3s0 -w packets
The open the packets file in wireshark.

There is always tcpdump. We do get spoiled with graphical interfaces, don't we...
hmm.

If you wish to temporarily start a program under a new group you can call "newgrp" to create a new terminal session to do so.

Thanks! Did a "man newgrp" to learn a little about it and gave it a try. "wireshark &" from that terminal window is accessing the interfaces. So I can use this as a workaround until the next login.

Not necessary if you use the '-a' ('--append') option with 'usermod -G' (this is mentioned in the man page in the -G option explanation). :)

Maybe you need to logout and login again.

Well in that case you could just:
rpm -qi wireshark
for more information. Then you could do:
yum search wireshark
to see if there are more packages to download.

It is obvious now to note that just because you 'yum install'ed a package, you don't necessarily have everything to use it. I have made note of this in my personal tutorial file.
Definitely a 'duh' moment.
