Bug #2288 reports a problem wherein on Linux requesting a wireshark capture to a file in a directory for which the user does not have write permission causes a popup which says only: "Child capture process exited: exit status 2".
I've posted a rather longish analysis in the bug 2288 comments of what I think is going on and some thoughts as to possible fixes. The problems basically relate to the use of dumpcap as a childwireshark/tshark child and can manifest themselves differently for wireshark and tshark. I would appreciate any comments which the developers might have. (I would normally have posted the analysis here, but since I started the analysis in the bug comments, I decided to continue the analysis there).
