Wireshark RPC packet capture with localhost

Question

I want to capture RPC-XML packets on locahost using wireshark. As RPC-XML is at the top of tcp/udp, I enabled all protocols still I am not able to capture the traffic. Is there other way to do so?

I created sample RPC application for testing purposes.

Wireshark listens on an interface (if I recall correctly). In that case of localhost, I have no idea what that interface should be, but that is the issue probably — soandos, Jun 18 '12 at 05:23
What OS is this? Loopback capturing is OS specific, and unix encompasses many OSs. — Paul, Jun 18 '12 at 06:40

Os unix flavor : ubuntu

I.e., Linux, so capture on the device named lo.
