Comment 0 for bug 1650801

When I run Etherape as a normal user it launches, but as my system is configured so that only root can capture, I am forced to run Etherape with sudo, however this means that the only output I get is this and that the program does not work as it does not launch and just exist after printing this:

    No protocol specified

    (etherape:2294): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
