Workaround: install the 3.4 version from
apt-add repository ppa:sylvain-garcia
then modify /etc/init.d/ntop
Line 96 add the flag -b *(this is the same as --disable-decoders)
(I started with line 95 to display the full modified command)
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --name $NAME --exec $DAEMON -- \
-d -b -L -u $USER -P $HOMEDIR \
then restart ntop
sudo service ntop restart
it would be nice if the package maintainer would add the -b flag to the package. Or expain to me how to do it and I'll do it myself.
