I have two dilemma's here:

One is, I tried using iftop but it said I don't have permission to capture on that device (socket: operation not permitted) I can use ifconfig just fine.

Also, I installed NetHogs and tried to use it. But it came up with, you need to be root to run NetHogs.

I'm extremely new to ubuntu, anyone help?

  • You can use sudo to run programs with elevated (root) privileges. Example sudo iftop

  • iftop needs to be run as root as Nischay says, so sudo iftop it is.
