Hey,thanks for the instruction, JoshuaCMartin (comment below). I'm from Russia, so I had to download via VPN, with low speed. Downloaded from here https://skillsforall.com/resources/lab-downloads . Uploaded it for your convenience. Russians, turn off the Internet before running the application, otherwise it does not work (cisco blocked Russia) // Перезалил для вашего удобства. Россияне, выключайте интернет перед запуском приложения, иначе оно не работает (cisco заблокировало Россию) https://mega.nz/file/634gSbwS#cPxUGCOfL3lI7jgta2XwXkYYQV_ZzSzhvSlZ2TdtyIM

@pavlon1988, I am unable to provide a Packet Tracer file to you given the restrictions against Russia. Even once you install Packet Tracer, you have to login to your Cisco account and because your Cisco account is blocked, you won't be able to access Packet Tracer at all.
I know this impacts a lot of Russian citizens and I apologize for the inconvenience due to the Russian's invasion of Ukraine, but I cannot be of any help to you. I am so sorry about that. :(
pavlon1988 commented on 2022-08-04 15:50 (UTC)
Сan anyone download and give a link to CiscoPacketTracer_820_Ubuntu_64bit.deb ? Im from russia and my cisco account is blocked

Easy install. Arch (Endeavour) 22.1 with KDE 5.24.4 on X11
Download ONE of the following:
PacketTracer Download (Network Academy Student Login Required): https://www.netacad.com/portal/node/488
Packet Tracer Download (Free Account Required): https://skillsforall.com/resources/lab-downloads
Commands:
- sudo pacman -Syu qt5-multimedia qt5-webengine qt5-svg qt5-networkauth qt5-websockets qt5-script qt5-speech
- git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/packettracer.git
- cd packettracer
- cp ~/Downloads/CiscoPacketTracer_811_Ubuntu_64bit.deb ./packettracer
- cd packettracer
- makepkg -i
Line 1 may be unneccessary, it was for me, but apparently these are unlisted dependencies.
That's it.
Essem commented on 2022-04-05 20:39 (UTC)
Seems like the Skills for All login is broken on KDE; however, it's possible to work around this by using the system libraries instead (with the exception of OpenSSL). Example:
LD_PRELOAD="/opt/packettracer/bin/libcrypto.so.1.1 /opt/packettracer/bin/libssl.so.1.1" PTDIR=/opt/packettracer /opt/packettracer/bin/PacketTracer

You need to rename the package now slightly so that this will work.

Completing their knowledge course is not required, just an account registration. Their instructions would have you believe otherwise. I used this url to download the 811 version: https://skillsforall.com/resources/lab-downloads
auruser_12 commented on 2022-03-09 20:43 (UTC)
To avoid having to create an account to use this (their website was completely broken for me this week), simply start the software without internet access :)

I had to install some of the qt5 packages to get it working. The runtime dependencies need to be updated to include the following.
-
qt5-multimedia
-
qt5-webengine
-
qt5-svg
-
qt5-networkauth
-
qt5-websockets
-
qt5-script
-
qt5-speech
sgorblex commented on 2022-01-15 14:21 (UTC)
/etc/profile.d/packettracer.sh
should be a sh
-compatible, sourceable script. Please do not use bashisms (like function
). Also, there's no need for a shebang, since the script is meant to be sourced, not executed.
This is a possible fixed version: https://pastebin.com/cvgVniCk
The current version breaks for shells other than Bash, e.g. Dash.

Then mark it out of date instead of commenting about it.

Hi, I successfully installed packettracer following @runnytu comment. However, I wanted to let you know that the latest packettracker available on Netacad is now 8.1.0, so I had to update the version and the sha512 of the PKGBUILD. Thank you for this package!
blondie commented on 2021-11-15 14:08 (UTC)
works great once u have it setup but is a massive pain in the ass to setup
GraysonPeddie commented on 2021-10-10 21:17 (UTC)
And please, please read the comment from @runnytu before reporting an error. If a Linux terminal outputs an error that the deb file is not found, that's because Packet Tracer has not be downloaded from Cisco.com yet.
GraysonPeddie commented on 2021-10-10 21:15 (UTC)
@panagiss,
Log into your Cisco account, download the Ubuntu version of Packet Tracer, and put it in the AUR's packettracer folder.

Needed it for school work. Works properly. (upvoted)
GraysonPeddie commented on 2021-07-26 11:57 (UTC) (edited on 2021-07-26 12:00 (UTC) by GraysonPeddie)
Yeah. That can be a problem when taking the module exams and practice certification exams. Blame it on Cisco, as the developers did not test their program with light and dark themes. I even get white text in white background in some areas when using a dark theme in KDE. Dark theme in GNOME? Works just fine as the GTK theme is not associated with Packet Tracer.
Plus, Cisco did not enumerate the list of fonts installed in a Linux system. When working in a terminal, I get a sans font instead of a monospace font. When I get an error, the marker will not be placed where an error occurred. I've had to copy the command and the output to the text editor that already uses a monospace font to find out what went wrong.
erylflynn commented on 2021-07-26 04:53 (UTC)
Thanks, running in Plasma though. I got it to launch a bit better adding your line to the application launch line but tried it for the application association and it still launches as before if I take a pkt file and open.
GraysonPeddie commented on 2021-07-25 22:55 (UTC)
@erylflynn Add or modify the .desktop file for cisco-pt,desktop:
grayson@grayson-epcotcenter
~
$ cat .local/share/applications/cisco-pt.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME /opt/packettracer/packettracer %f
Name=Packet Tracer 8.0.0
Icon=/opt/packettracer/art/app.png
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=application/x-pkt;application/x-pka;application/x-pkz;
Categories=Application;Network;
Add XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME
to ExecStart=
before /opt/packettracer/packettracer %f
and that should solve the problem unless you open Packet Tracer in GNOME desktop.
erylflynn commented on 2021-07-25 17:38 (UTC)
Is there a way to fix some of the font coloring issues? I use a dark theme and find some menus are not visible unless I hover or click on where they are. Otherwise the font and the background are the same. So far not finding anyway to correct, not sure what the font/background is in the theme.

The latest file from the Cisco website is CiscoPacketTracer_801_Ubuntu_64bit.deb, I edited the PKGBUILD filename dependency and used updpkgsums and installed everything but when I run PacketTracer, nothing happens. Sorry I'm really new to all of this, any help?
EDIT: Got it to work by installing Qt5, but I can only launch it from the terminal, not the shortcut when using an application finder.

SCREEN FREEZE: steps to reproduce
on save dialog box showing lab1.pkt already saved in folder if u want to add lab2.pkt start typing 'l..' it will start search same names and freeze whole window manger.
I have to do ctrl alt f2 to kill packetTracer.
Version : 8.0-2
Desktop env : DWM
Kernel : 5.12.13-arch1-2
erylflynn commented on 2021-06-08 20:23 (UTC)
Only problem is that it does not like spaces in paths. Probably need to quote out the following lines in the package build.
chown -R 0:0 ${pkgdir}
mv ${pkgdir}/opt/pt/ ${pkgdir}/opt/packettracer/
mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/"
ritikrajdev commented on 2021-05-10 17:26 (UTC)
Please add qt5-script
as a dependency.

In KDE the installation fails at the very last step with gtk-update-icon-cache: No theme index file.
This can be fixed by adding the --ignore-theme-index
flag to the gtk-update-icon-cache
command in packettracer.install
and then updating that file's sha512sum in the PKGBUILD.

the program still installs and opens fine(i haven't really used it yet). maybe this line should be added at the end of the PKGBUILD?:

@con-fused follow instructions from @runnytu and download the deb file from netacad.com once you create an account with Cisco.
Also, use the Markdown syntax. A "```" (without quotes) makes it a code and preserves the formatting of command output.

@rahul_negi21 That's because you're trying to use the 8.0 PKGBUILD to install Packet Tracer 7.3.1. If you download the 8.0 .deb it should work fine.

Isn't the link in line 15 of the PKGBUILD wrong?
The url
field of the PKGBUILD only serves to provide a link to the upstream website (see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#url).
The part of the PKGBUILD that tell makepkg where to get the files from is the source
array. It currently references local://PacketTracer...
, which is correct - as the pinned comment states, you have to provide the tarball from Netacad yourself.
(I know that you would need to provide a username and password, but that's possible right?
curl -u
can do it, so...)

It gave me an error (of course my first reaction was not "let's go check the AUR's comments). So...
Q: Isn't the link in line 15 of the PKGBUILD wrong? The download link for linux is "https://www.netacad.com/portal/resources/file/a2704df8-10f2-4a04-8d6b-a7c40d38d550", which would download the actual .deb file and install it without errors.

@guitaristtom From the wiki:
AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar with the manual build process...
so to answer your question, no. PKGBUILDS should download the source code/binaries automatically, but since Packet Tracer doesn't have a stable download link, we are forced to download it manually.

It seems like in PacketTracer_731_amd64.deb
, all files are now owned by drevil:drevil
(1000:1000
). This is an obvious case of broken upstream, and the package will have to work around it - just running chown after tar might be good enough.

commands in packettracer.install
? It's not required since package installation occurs as root, and one can't assume the user has sudo
installed anyway since it's not in the base

groups.
Please add a a sha512sum for packettracer.install

@marcelobaptista THAT'S what I'm talking about! Thanks marcelobaptista!
Can't you use one of the mirrors who publicly publish PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb on internet? So it will be fully automatic, I see plenty https://duckduckgo.com/?q=PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb
And if you're afraid use the website who also are on the libre domain, and do a checksum on what's downloaded
the user more advised will use their third party URL who authorize non authenticated download and it will be WAY faster
marcelobaptista commented on 2020-08-22 12:17 (UTC)
I created a script for installing Packet Tracer 7.3.1, just run and it will do all the work. Tested with sucess on Arch Linux, Manjaro and openSUSE Tumbleweed.

My bad for my previous post. It works pretty fine by following the instructions in the pinned comment. Props to the packager and maintainer! It's not useless as donfrank says especially if you use the application for work or study. Though it's just inconvenient a bit especially for new users (I just switch to arch) because of the way cisco packages it. Thanks guys
dkaylor commented on 2020-08-17 10:57 (UTC)
@donfrank: The packaging is certainly not ideal in this case, but it's a result of the way cisco packages it and the way they distribute it. It is certainly not "useless" to the numerous people who use it. Or presumably to the maintainer. You are more than welcome to not use it.

Second time, what are you talking about? yay

yay is not official, it is an AUR helper, therefor, yay should adapt to the AUR, not the other way around. If you have a problem with the way AUR, PKGBUILD, makepkg and so on are designed , then you make your case on the forum, mail, wiki (anywhere but here would be a better place). Obviously, maintainers does not have to make their AUR package yay compliant. READ the wiki (first line): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers. They are NOT SUPPORTED. This package is compliant with the SUPPORTED way to do things. So yeah, i think your problem is with the way the supported way works, and not packettracer package in particular. So I invite you to start new forum post, so things discussed here are kept related to this package.
bkb commented on 2020-06-18 10:19 (UTC)
What are you talking about, it has nothing to do with yay
, all packages works nicely with it. It's this package that it's not installable without manual intervention
Think a little before invoking dumbly the "third party" card
The problem will remain the same even if someday pacman
develop something for AUR packages
koatao commented on 2020-06-18 09:59 (UTC) (edited on 2020-06-18 10:00 (UTC) by koatao)
@bkb Then your problem is with yay. And here is not the place to discuss about it. It has nothing to do with this package specifically.

xiretza commented on 2020-06-17 17:45 (UTC)
pacman does not build packages. pacman will never build packages. there is nothing an AUR package can do to make pacman -Syu
build it.

Like always
For me automatic = yay -Syu
, everything else = non automatic
koatao commented on 2020-06-17 14:06 (UTC)
@bkb, no, you don't have to compile anything yourself to install version 7.3.0. You need 4 files before using makepkg: PKGBUILD of course, packettracer.install, packettracer.sh and PacketTacer_730_amd64.deb.
bkb commented on 2020-06-17 07:20 (UTC) (edited on 2020-06-18 09:19 (UTC) by bkb)
@xiretza You right, the big problem is that we need to manually compile
I try to make the installation automatic with all other packages on a yay -Syu
xiretza commented on 2020-06-16 18:06 (UTC)
@bkb: what exactly would your change even be? Since PKGBUILDs can't be interactive, you'd have to change it to add the URL before you build anyway. If you're doing that, just change source=()
, which is the one supported way to download sources.
bkb commented on 2020-06-16 06:46 (UTC)
@runnytu sure but my method adds nothing forbidden on the pkgbuild, so why not implementing it?
koatao commented on 2020-06-15 20:50 (UTC)
good job! Thanks !
runnytu commented on 2020-06-15 19:03 (UTC)
I Changed the old script to a bash one, @bkb, as another user already said to you, it's no problem of "afraid" or "more advised" users, it's because cisco forbids all redistribute of packettracer package without their consent, it's already warned in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PacketTracer#Disclaimer
koatao commented on 2020-06-15 15:30 (UTC)
@bkb, I don't see where is the issue with the download, you can modify the PKGBUILD yourself if you don't want to download it manually on the official website.
bkb commented on 2020-06-15 06:41 (UTC) (edited on 2020-06-15 06:59 (UTC) by bkb)
I have an idea, the script ask for an URL, if one is given he tries to download and work from it. If none he uses the traditional method
It doesn't changes anything appart adding a wget
and for us it changes everything because for now we had to do many steps manually, but with that we only have to copy/paste an URL and let the rest be
The users who are afraid to use third party sources will use the manual method downloading from NetAcad, and the user more advised will use their third party URL who authorize non authenticated download and it will be WAY faster
And I think it adds nothing illegal to put a wget $askedURL
, no illegal material, we put ourselves the copyrighted part
koatao commented on 2020-06-14 22:36 (UTC) (edited on 2020-06-14 22:37 (UTC) by koatao)
@ruunytu, I'm starting to understand now. And you are totally right, there should be a /etc/profile.d script according to the .deb package. But your packettracer.sh script is not a bash or sh script (i guess you must be running another shell). It should be corrected. There is a postint script in the .deb package of 7.3.0 like you said exporting PT7HOME (env var needed for exam from what I've read) and exporting QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO (this var is marked as deprecated in favor QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR related to qtdiag-qt5 hence the version check in the script I guess).
xiretza commented on 2020-06-14 11:50 (UTC)
It is not a valid shell script and cannot possibly belong in /etc/profile.d
. Try running sh -c 'source /etc/profile.d/packettracer.sh'
and tell me it doesn't error.
runnytu commented on 2020-06-14 11:25 (UTC)
@koatao, CISCO it's providing it in the official .deb package, because it's needed for open packettracer from all directories (export PT7HOME), and if you have high DPI on your system (QT_VERSION_CHECK), I tested on my system without any issues since the first time, and yes, it's correct place is profile.d.
Check that you have all dependencies and the whole base package of archlinux installed.
koatao commented on 2020-06-14 07:01 (UTC) (edited on 2020-06-14 07:11 (UTC) by koatao)
Hi, @ElNinijo, the problem is, the script is not a bash script. Here what I understood about what the script does: export PT7HOME (/opt/packettracer) as environnement variable. Depending on the version of Qt (QT_VERSION > QT_VERSION_CHECK(5,5,0)), export QT_AUTO_SCALE_FACTOR (= 1) if version of Qt is superior to 5.5, else export QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_AUTO (= auto). @ruunyti, how did you test this script ? Why do we need it ? I deleted it, and packettracer is working fine without it (only got one bug yet). And is it really a good idea to put this script in profile.d if it is only needed to packettracer? (meaning it will be sourced for every instances of Bash).
ElNinijo commented on 2020-06-08 11:57 (UTC)

after update to the newest version i receive these info, where is porblem?
runnytu commented on 2020-05-27 16:37 (UTC)
@horaciohs, Yes, it's necessary, and no errors are shown on my terminal or log.
xiretza commented on 2020-05-26 15:58 (UTC)
Nothing is being compiled anywhere. Speaking of which, shouldn't this really be a -bin package?
bkb commented on 2020-05-26 15:32 (UTC)
Neither make it automatic, in both case you have to manually compile
xiretza commented on 2020-05-26 13:47 (UTC)
@bkb: you can change the source=
yourself if you want to download the binaries from a non-official location. Or, as you say, just install it from Cisco and lose all the advantages a package manager gives you.
bkb commented on 2020-05-26 13:13 (UTC) (edited on 2020-05-26 13:13 (UTC) by bkb)
The principle of a package manager is to automatize updates, if you didn't give any way to automatize this installation it's basically useless, it's just installing from Cisco with extra steps
horaciohs commented on 2020-05-26 00:01 (UTC)
packettracer 7.3.0-5 :

Is /etc/profile.d/packettracer.sh necessary ?

Can't you use one of the mirrors who publicly publish PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb
on internet? So it will be fully automatic, I see plenty https://duckduckgo.com/?q=PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb
And if you're afraid use the website who also are on the libre domain, and do a checksum on what's downloaded

I think packettracer.sh should be removed from this package.
PT7HOME
doesn't seem to be necessary for Packet Tracer to work.QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO
is a deprecated variable (more info here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html). I don't really see why this variable falls within the scope of what should be set by this package anyways, though. Moreover, since the script is installed to /etc/profile.d/, this will be applied to all programs. Being deprecated, this causes a lot of warnings to be created in the system log.

@Rowisi, Java is needed to serve: /opt/packettracer/extensions/ptaplayer/ptaplayer-12.009.jar, I don't use PTA and can't confirm if without java PTA is still working ok or not, if someone can confirm that PTA is working without java I remove Java from dependencies.

@runnytu before installing this package. I have deleted java-runtime from dependencies array and I don't have Java installed. Still everything I used works fine in Packettracer. Not sure what Java is needed for...
runnytu commented on 2020-02-22 13:34 (UTC)
@Rowisi, If you read carefully it says "Starting with version 7.2.2 Packet Tracer no longer requires Java for use with assessments", only for assessments, now you don't need java plugin in a web browser because it's integrated into the package, but still, it's needed for the package working.

I'm on manjaro 18.1.5 with the 4.19 LTS kernel.
You have to manually install this. Because in the PKGBUILD file he has this line to download the binary .deb file yourself: source=('local://PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb' 'packettracer.sh')
You can either download it from some random website, or make an account on netacad.com. I got it from official site, and friend got it from some other source. Ours both had the same hash value, which also matches the sha512sum in the PKGBUILD here:
sha256sum PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb
67d8acee7e101d99e12e47c74bc8ed56c28a596adaa2f3032593fbe0bb83198c PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb
What I did was run "yay -S packettracer" which puts all the necessary files in "/home/$USER/.cache/yay/packettracer/". It gives an error:
ERROR: PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.
Delete the packettracer folder, then set it up manually.
cd /home/$USER/.cache/yay && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/packettracer.git
copy the "PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb" file into this packettracer folder. And now run "yay -S packettracer" and it installs without any errors cuz it finds the .deb file at source=('local://PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb'......).
When you run "yay -S packettracer", it asks: ==> Packages to cleanBuild?
Hit 'n' for no. If you hit yes, it deletes the entire git repo dir we just set up.
dkazantzas commented on 2020-01-28 10:55 (UTC)
Why don't you put a link to the deb file instead of leaving it as a responsibility of the user?
ehwuts commented on 2020-01-28 06:54 (UTC)
This package is missing several dependencies to covers PacketTracer7's needed libraries. Not sure what the specific requirements are, but to get what I was missing I installed qt5-svg qt5-webkit qt5-script qt5-multimedia qt5-webengine.
eduardosm commented on 2020-01-25 19:45 (UTC)
The symbolic link created in the install file should be done in the PKGBUILD.

The .install script in this package is an abomination and should never have been uploaded to the internet as is.
-
Don't use sudo in .install scripts, the sudo package is potentially not even installed on the target system and the scripts run under UID 0 anyway.
-
The remove_pt() in pre_install() stuff belongs either in the PKGBUILD or should be removed since it's not used anywhere in the script. Why should these files not be tracked by pacman?
-
Updating the various icon/desktop/mime DBs and caches should be left to the libalpm hooks that provide these binaries, it doesn't belong here.
-
Editing files that or owned by other packages is a big NO! NO!, you do not simply mangle /etc/profile, this has to go away. We have /etc/profile.d for this exact reason or alternatively communicate to the user that they have to set them manually in their configs.

TLDR: For getting it to work in Manjaro I had to: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdouble-conversion.so /opt/packettracer/bin/libdouble-conversion.so.1
.
While installing the package, I get those warnings:
warning: directory permissions differ on /opt/packettracer/help/
filesystem: 755 package: 777
warning: directory permissions differ on /opt/packettracer/saves/
filesystem: 755 package: 555
But it seems to install fine, but it does not run in my Manjaro by default.
[deemon@Zen packettracer]$ /opt/packettracer/packettracer
Starting Packet Tracer 7.3.0
[deemon@Zen packettracer]$
...aaand nothing happens.
.
.
OI! got it working... while analyzing the contents of bash script /opt/packettracer/packettracer (default installed executable for this program) I tried to run the command with the given variables...
[deemon@Zen packettracer]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/packettracer/bin PTDIR=/opt/packettracer /opt/packettracer/bin/PacketTracer7
/opt/packettracer/bin/PacketTracer7: error while loading shared libraries: libdouble-conversion.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and then tried to run it WITHOUT the LD_LIBRARY_PATH crap and it started working!!! :-)
[deemon@Zen packettracer]$ /opt/packettracer/bin/PacketTracer7
and it WORKS! :)
and or creating symbolic link for the library works also: [deemon@Zen bin]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdouble-conversion.so /opt/packettracer/bin/libdouble-conversion.so.1

To install all versions of packettracer except 7.2.2, follow this guidelines: 1. Download the snapshot from this AUR. 2. Tar -zxf the packettracer.tar.gz snapshot (it creates the dir packettracer/ with the PKGBUILD on it). 3. Download the latest packettracer tarball from your Netacad account and copy it into the packettracer/ dir. 4. Create the package with the command makepkg (it creates a packettracer.pkg.tar.xz). 5. Install the package with either makepkg -i or sudo pacman -U packettracer.pkg.tar.xz.
Packettracer 7.2.2 are auto installable via run file, download it from netacad webpage and run it, you don't need this package.

Newer versions of PacketTracer can be extracted manually using the QT installer framework's devtool.

The Latest Version can be installed normally by running the run file.

The Latest Version can be installed normally by running the run file. First Uninstall the old thing though. sudo rm -rf /opt/pt
this build needs to be edited for the run file.
pierryangelo commented on 2019-08-24 14:12 (UTC)
Updated: In order to install Packet Tracer just follow runnytu comment, but you must edit PKGBUILD file like that:
original: source=('packettracer' 'linguist' 'packettracer.sh' 'local://Packet Tracer 7.2.1 for Linux 64 bit.tar.gz')
the way that works: source=('packettracer' 'linguist' 'packettracer.sh' 'local://packet_tracer_7.2.1_for_linux_64_bit.tar.gz')
The other way is just rename the file according to PKGBUILD.

Installing qt5-x11extras fix this issue.

You are working with a binary blob. This should be installed to /opt
.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_package_guidelines#Directories
It falls under "Large self-contained packages".
Also, where the hell did you read installing to /opt
is disallowed?!
runnytu commented on 2019-02-25 14:30 (UTC)
@FFY00, installing to opt is disallowed, install in /usr/share/packettracer/ makes that more clean and follow arch-guidelines.

Please intsall this to /opt

I think we can safely replace icu52 dependency by icu (or currently icu63). Then it compile for me.
-depends_x86_64=('openssl-1.0' 'libpng12' 'icu52') +depends_x86_64=('openssl-1.0' 'libpng12' 'icu')

mv tarball /home/$USER/.cache/yay/packettracer
Then finish the yay -S install.

Since packettracer 7.2, when doing "Save as" and typing a name, as soon as it shows you some files that already exist, the current session hangs on. Cannot open any program, not able to click anything.

setxkbmap -layout [your favourite language] (-variant [your favourite layout variant])
Example for German users:
setxkbmap -layout de (-variant nodeadkeys)
You also can write a script and an autostart file to avoid manually executing the command.
Here some keywords for Google: Tastatur, deutsch, deutsche, Tastenbelegung, X11, xorg

Is it just me or it asks to login every single time? Could this something in the install process? Fonts also don't adjust to high resolution monitors. They're really tiny.

For version 7.2:
-
Download PacketTracer from your netacad account
-
Run 'yaourt -S packettracer'. Don't try to finish until you follow next step.
-
Place 'Packet Tracer 7.2 for Linux 64 bit.tar.gz' in /tmp/'aur_package_folder'
-
Finish installing. Done.

Version 7.2 is already available as of August 2018, see the top notice at: https://www.packettracernetwork.com/features/packettracer-72-newfeatures.html and also at https://www.netacad.com/group/offerings/packet-tracer/

In the netacad web page there is still the 7.1 version, don't flag until version 7.2 it's available on the netacad page.

I installed icu52 and libpng12, but could not locate the sha512sum to install the packettracer aur. So I executed the install script from Cisco (using sudo) and it installed and works properly. Did not need the aur. I'm shocked.

Cisco has released 7.2 and can you include a .desktop
runnytu commented on 2018-06-27 19:42 (UTC)
pacaur is unmaintained since too many months ago, it's possible that doesn't interpret well some Pacman new implementation, change to another Pacman wrapper maintained and under development.

@Cysioland Have you or anyone else found a workaround for this? I am having the same issue. I looked and the art directory seems to be in the correct place.

@altf4, the name is changed since 25/04/2018

The latest version of packettracer has another name. So just change the name in the PKGBUILD and also don't forget to change the sha512sum of the packet, otherwise, it won't work
spacepunkcowboy commented on 2018-04-24 03:26 (UTC)
It appears Cisco is now compressing the archive, so the file extension is now ".tar.gz". I change the filename in the PKGBUILD, and it worked for me. Line you are looking for is: source_x86_64=('local://Packet Tracer 7.1.1 for Linux 64 bit.tar')
z3ntu commented on 2018-03-19 21:42 (UTC)
Well I had that problem before when I look at the comments; so again: uninstalling the "jdk" package solves the issue for some reason.
runnytu commented on 2018-03-15 19:43 (UTC)
@z3ntu, Try to install/update jre8-openjdk, jre8-openjdk-headless, java-runtime-common and java-environment-common packages, are the only requirements to run packettracer, try also this environment chek from cisco: http://skills.netacad.net/check/check.html
z3ntu commented on 2018-03-13 09:12 (UTC)
@runnytu I'm on qt5-base 5.10.1-5. Also 7.1-1 crashes but 7.0-4 works.
runnytu commented on 2018-03-12 20:56 (UTC)
@z3ntu, try to update all qt5 packages to last version 5.10, it seems a qt5 bug.

Followed the pinned comment and was able to successfully install it. Thanks :)
runnytu commented on 2018-02-06 22:39 (UTC)
In the official netacad downloads page still appears 7.1 version, don't mark it out of date until is published officially on it.
runnytu commented on 2018-01-25 19:36 (UTC)
@z3ntu, It was already done, it's in the 80th line of the PKGBUILD.
z3ntu commented on 2018-01-25 13:54 (UTC)
In the .desktop file the icon path has to be changed to /usr/share/packettracer/art/app.png
z3ntu commented on 2018-01-16 09:42 (UTC)
@presianbg: I had probably the same error, uninstalling jdk from the AUR resolved the error..

To install all versions of packettracer except 7.2.2, follow this guidelines: 1. Download the snapshot from this AUR. 2. Tar -zxf the packettracer.tar.gz snapshot (it creates the dir packettracer/ with the PKGBUILD on it). 3. Download the latest packettracer tarball from your Netacad account and copy it into the packettracer/ dir. 4. Create the package with the command makepkg (it creates a packettracer.pkg.tar.xz). 5. Install the package with either makepkg -i or sudo pacman -U packettracer.pkg.tar.xz.
Packettracer 7.2.2 are auto installable via run file, download it from netacad webpage and run it, you don't need this package.
