Exiting on GUI when starting wlan0 eth0 etc

[nobidebian]

i also edited the /etc/ettercap/etter.conf ec_uid = 0 ec_gid = 0

when im starting it up: ettercap -G

It shows the GUI, but when im starting it to wlan0 eth0 etc it exits automatically and shows this ERROR

ERROR : 1, Operation not permitted [./src/ec_network.c:source_init:183]

pcap_open_live: wlan0: You don't have permission to capture on that device (socket: Operation not permitted)

when i tried to run it with sudo ettercap -G it shows this
