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.

Okey, thanks a lot! I think, I saw on one AURs package page additional information for people who didn't know that the should do some additional steps. I think it was something with dictionary which is updated everyday so it's hard to update PKGBUILD every day. Is it possible to put this information here for other noobs like me?

The only way to obtain the software, legally, is through the link in the PKGBUILD. Please do not pirate (or at least don't mention those activities here).

Find PacketTracer53_Fedora.tar.gz through internet and place it in the same folder with the PKGBUILD. In PKGBUILD there is a line saying # Requires Netacad Username/Password to download # http://cisco.netacad.net/cnams/resourcewindow/noncurr/downloadTools/app_files/PacketTracer53_Fedora.tar.gz if you don't owe an account you can't use that link.

I can't install it. It says that PacketTracer53_Fedora.tar.gz is not an URL. I've modified it PKGBUILD (but don't know if now it's correct – I don't know how to make PKGBUILD files): source=( 'http://cisco.netacad.net/cnams/resourcewindow/noncurr/downloadTools/app_files/PacketTracer53_Fedora.tar.gz' 'packettracer' 'linguist' ) and now it tells that md5sums are wrong for PacketTracer53_Fedora.tar.gz .

It doesn't work. I can't download it. It says that PacketTracer533_Generic_Fedora.tar.gz is not an URL. I've modified PKGBUILD source=( 'http://cisco.netacad.net/cnams/resourcewindow/noncurr/downloadTools/app_files/PacketTracer53_Fedora.tar.gz' 'packettracer' 'linguist' ) but it says md5sums are wrong for PacketTracer53_Fedora.tar.gz . I'm not pkgbuilder and I don't it this change was okey, but still I can't install packettracer (neither with packer, nor manually, neither with original PKGBUILD, nor with modified).

@mynis01, I emailed you. In short, I dunno what IPC and have never taken a SBA before. Without a test (SBA) file, I'm afraid there is much I can do.

mynis01 commented on 2012-03-03 22:47 (UTC)

Everything is working well except the ptaplayer plugin (used for taking practice SBAs). I can run the plugin manually if you use a file manager and go to /opt/pt/extensions/ptaplayer. If I attempt to open the test from a web browser I get "Message ID: XP-ERR-010". I also noticed that when I run the Cisco Packet Tracer Skills Assessment Environment Checker, it detects that packet tracer is installed to /opt/pt, and says that the IPC ports are available, but is unable to detect what version of packet tracer is installed.

The fonts wouldn't change at first, but then I installed ttf-ms-fonts 2.0-9 from the AUR. It worked after I rebooted. Thanks :)

pyther commented on 2012-02-21 19:06 (UTC)

Trying changing the font settings (Options->Preferences). My settings: CLI (Courier New 10), Headers (Verdana 10), Workspace (Verdana 10), Activity Wizard (Verdana 10), File Menu (Tahoma 10), Tab Switches (Verdana 10), Tooltips (Courier New 10), Button/Labels (Verdana 10).
