    Wireshark not work through VNC

    It seems that there are issues about XServer or gdk (I don't know), so wireshark will not work in xfce through VNC.

    Here is the error message. (I am using a non-root user, but there's same error for root. The system is Xiaomi 8, using arm64, kernel is not modified)

    mi8@kali:~$ /usr/bin/wireshark
    qt.qpa.xcb: XKeyboard extension not present on the X server
    QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-mi8'
    Gdk-Message: 02:16:28.194: wireshark: Fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server :5.0.


    Any one can help with this? Thanks.

    I have not tried this on Kali, but I had the same problem on xfce/ubuntu 20.04. I just checked and the current rolling release of kali appears to use tightvncserver by default (same as was my xfce/ubuntu). I uninstalled tightvncserver, and replaced it with tigervnc-standalone-server and tigervnc-xorg-extension. Since then, wireshark opens normally as expected, over VNC.
