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 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')

You can use this link rather than the fucking netacad offical site. https://dl.recolic.net/res/Packet_Tracer_7.2_for_Linux_64_bit.tar.gz

I don't mind legal problems.

For people using the AUR-helper "yay":

Download the tarball from Cisco.

yay -S packettracer

^^^ BEFORE FINISHING UP THIS INSTALL:

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.

Using Wayland and another keyboard layout than English? Here's a workaround that works for me on Gnome 3 under Wayland.

Open a terminal and type in:

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:

  1. Download PacketTracer from your netacad account

  2. Run 'yaourt -S packettracer'. Don't try to finish until you follow next step.

  3. Place 'Packet Tracer 7.2 for Linux 64 bit.tar.gz' in /tmp/'aur_package_folder'

  4. Finish installing. Done.

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.
