I tried to install it as in your procedure from ubuntu software center, it didn't work, don't know why!!

 

but i was able to make the installation from the package manager by installing the wireshark package.

The menu item for wireshark - launcher properties - edit prefix with gksu did the trick for me.

I had wireshark installed long time back but never got to work from the menu neither using "sudo wireshark" from terminal. The "gksu wireshark" did the trick. Thx again.
