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.

@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.

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.

EDIT 2: Somehow got the shortcut to work.. last thing I did was see what file the shortcut was linked to and right clicked->revert.. not sure if that did it but everything is functioning now..

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

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.

arcman's solution prints a lot of jargon making each directory of that permission which is not needed. A more elegant solution is needed to the problem. runnytu, can you incorporate the changes suggested in the last two comments ASAP??

baioc commented on 2021-04-22 19:30 (UTC) (edited on 2021-04-22 19:31 (UTC) by baioc)

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.
