Hi all,
Since the dependencies of libdouble-conversionn1 and qt-st-api aren't available in Ubuntu 20.04, It seems impossible to install PacketTracer on Ubuntu 20.04. Is there any fix for this? Or an ETA for when a fix will be available?
I found a PacketTracer snap, but this one isn't maintained by Cisco (So less trustworthy). I don't know if this snap works on Ubuntu 20.04
I couldn't find a PacketTracer sub-forum. That's why I posted in this sub-forum. If this is the wrong location, could somebody move it to the right one?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello everyone,
I had the same problem. By installing the first dependency you are able to open the application and do your stuff. For the second one, the process is more time-consuming. because qt-at-spi package also needs some more dependency that you are able to manually download and install them on your system.
This was the way I did. If anyone else knows a better way, I will be appreciated to let me know.
