After install version 9.0.0, you should execute from console: "./usr/lib/packettracer/packettracer.AppImage" in order to accept the license and install the desktop files.

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.

I can't drag modules to devices, and modifying the .desktop file to run with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb does not work

Just to help some ppl, I had some troubles and the error message when running the /usr/lib/packettracker/packettracer.AppImage was:

Fatal: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, xcb.

NOTE: I'm currently in sway

I thought the fix was putting: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb in the ~/.bashrc, instead, it was actually putting it inside ~/.profile.

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

without the "" double quotes

can anyone drag and drog modules on a device? I'm running through this issue and it seems there's no other option rather than downgrading the version.

you're a godsend. i didn't know that was an option, but i was finally able to log in

@K1ra_32

After executing /usr/lib/packettracer/packettracer.AppImage, on the UELA login window select Advance settings and check the box for using internal browser. You should be able to login afterwards.

If text is tiny, try something like:

env QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=Round QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.333333 /usr/lib/packettracer/packettracer.AppImage "$HOME/Documents/CCNA/JITL/CCNA Mega Lab (Jeremy's IT Lab).pka"

Please add conflict with packettracer900-bin.

i'm able to install and run the app, but it never opens the window for me to log in. this is what i get when i run it from the terminal. any insight or workarounds would be appreciated as i'm trying to get my CCNA before the end of january

I'm also having the same issues with any preferences made not saving, and also having to log on for each session, which is something I did not have to do on 8.2.2.
