Hi
I have an installation of Packet Tracer on my Linux system (Ubuntu 22.04).
I have set up a simple network:
Server0 is a web server hosting content over HTTP. DNS Server is a server resolving the domain name entered.
The IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and other network configuration has been correctly set up.
When using the Web Browser on PC0 (Desktop > Web Browser) to access the web page from Server0, a blank page is displayed. However, when the same setup/configuration is used on Windows and the Web Browser accesses the same web page, the web page content loads.
Note: on both the Windows and Linux systems, I do not have Google Chrome installed.
Is this a bug with Packet Tracer? Can someone help to troubleshoot? Attached is a zip archive of the Packet Tracer file I used.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Using your text editor with root privileges, you can edit the
/opt/pt/packettracer
script, and change the script with the following text instead:
#!/bin/bash
echo Starting Packet Tracer 8.1.1
PTDIR=/opt/pt
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/pt/bin
pushd /opt/pt/bin > /dev/null
./PacketTracer "$@" --no-sandbox > /dev/null 2>&1
popd > /dev/null

Hello,
is this not working in both the 8.1.1 and the earlier 7.2.2 versions ? Could indeed very well be a bug. The config looks by the book, the A record is there.

I tried for 8.1.1 on both Windows and Linux.
It only worked in Windows.

Hello,
tough one. I did a search for Linux related PT bugs, but could not find one that can be connected to your DNS issue. Is there a chance to downgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (which is the listed minimum requirement on the Netacad page) ?
At least rest assured that the config is good...meaning: it is not your fault...:)

Thanks!
I managed to get the web browser to work.

This fixed the Packet Tracer Skills Assessments for CCNA coursework on Ubunty 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish.
