I'm just not used to having no feedback while a background process sets itself up before displaying its application window. I mention this because you have to be patient. I did not have to add it to the XQuartz application list. However, even through xterm I cannot get my remote machine to forward to my Mac (still cant find a display).

Launching Wireshark nothing appeared to happen for 1 minute 24 seconds before the main window appeared. Since reinstalling XQuartz I have been able to open XQuartz, then open an xterm through XQuartz and subsequently open simple X programs like xeyes locally. I then re-installed XQuartz and Wireshark. This morning I uninstalled XQuartz and Wireshark and restarted, returning to a clean state. I finally got it running but wasn't sure what actions helped. To start XQuartz, use Spotlight to locate XQuartz or navigate to your Applications->Utilties folder and open XQuartz from there. Tried a couple more times (from the Doc 'Applications', etc.) and saw success each time.īy the way, I later tried to get Wireshark running on another Mac running Mavericks. I exited all and then double-clicked Wireshark in the Applications folder. After 12-20 seconds, Wireshark launched from that menu displayed its main window. In its Applications menu I added Wireshark as one of the items using the '/Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark' path.

I knew I had the latest XQuartz 2.7.5 so I launched it. What did work was a suggestion found here: Next, I deleted the '/opt/X11' hierarchy and reinstalled XQuartz. I quit Wireshark and XQuartz and reinstalled XQuartz and saw no change in behaviour. Si tienes problemas con las X11 que vienen de serie en Mac OS X, aquí tienes XQuartz, un paquete que las actualiza, solucionando muchos problemas. I am running Mavericks and the items suggested here did not work for me. XQuartz for Mac is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.org X Window System that runs on Mac OS X.
