How could I capture wire shark traces on loop back interface?

Question

How can I capture wireshark traces on the interface it is configured to capture the traces?

Answer 1

The way you capture a trace on the lo interface with Wireshark is that you select the lo interface from the list of interfaces Wireshark offers. (If it doesn't offer any interface, there's a permissions problem; see the Linux section of the CapturePrivileges page on the Wireshark Wiki for information on that.)
