Unable to install packettracer on Ubuntu 20.04

[Sp_ace14]

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?

Description: disk partition manipulator
GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
to new hard disks.
.
This package contains the binary and manual page. Further
documentation is available in parted-doc.
.
Parted currently supports DOS, Mac, Sun, BSD, GPT, MIPS, and PC98
partitioning formats, as well as a "loop" (raw disk) type which
allows use on RAID/LVM. It can detect and remove ASFS/AFFS/APFS,
Btrfs, ext2/3/4, FAT16/32, HFS, JFS, linux-swap, UFS, XFS, and ZFS
file systems. Parted also has the ability to create and modify file
systems of some of these types, but using it to perform file system
operations is now deprecated.
.
The nature of this software means that any bugs could cause massive
data loss. While there are no such bugs known at the moment, they
could exist, so please back up all important files before running
it, and do so at your own risk.

Thank you so much its really helpful, but I have a question, "is there any performance effect on PacketTracer after deleting this dependencies?"

[5355464656]

it work thanks a lot :)

[sudoer]

After download and change mode of the packages, there's no need to delete all the line, just the last package "qt-at-spi"

sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status
! delete this string --> Depends: libdouble-conversion1, qt-at-spi

This time it worked. I don't know why it doesn't work last time.. probably i have deleted something else too.

Thank you so much, It really saved me from a lot of broken notifications.

[fauzaan88860524]

thanks for the instructions, but after that, I have two cisco applications and one of them doesn't work, can you help get rid of the non-functioning application?

[sudoer]

Can you list include hidden files the /opt and /opt/pt folder in the terminal and show us the result?

[ZodiaC]
