When I log on the console and run wireshark it takes a couple seconds
and its up and running.
When I log on via xdmcp (using xming)
Googling for xming finds
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming
which indicates that it's an X server for Windows, so presumably the
machine from which you're logging on to the Ubuntu server is a Windows
machine.
and run it, I gave up after an
hour an only 40% on the Registering Dissector.... window.
What happens if you run strace against Wireshark, to see what it's
doing? Is the process still running?
I'm leaning towards a wireshark/xdmcp not playing well together.
xdmcp is probably out of the way by the time Wireshark's running. It's
probably either an issue with GTK+ and xming, or something unrelated to X.
