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.

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.

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

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.
