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 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

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

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')

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
