then I ran (as root)

./install

Then I used this command

It seems that you are using CPT 7.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

I have found a nice guide to run CPT.

Steps:

Install CPT as you have already done.

Download correct version of library libicu52 (for example for amd64)

cd /tmp
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.8_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.8_amd64.deb

3 . Launch CPT with the packettracer.

Update: this procedure works with CPT 7.1.1 too.

You probably did not follow the correct procedure. For one: nowhere does it state you need to rename the file to an extension that claims it is a compressed archive. This is one method that works:

Re-download Cisco Packet Tracer 6.0 for Ubuntu.
Open up Downloads folder, rename to CiscoPacketTracer6.0.
Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t).
Type in:
```
sudo su
```
And type in your password and press Enter.

Then type:

cd Downloads
ls
chmod +x CiscoPacketTracer6.0
./CiscoPacketTracer6.0

Next, click the space bar to go to the bottom (You'll see a % at the bottom left of terminal) of the EULA and press the y button to accept the terms and conditions. After that, sit back and wait until it's done.
Next, click on Ubuntu symbol and search "Packet" on your computer. You should see the Cisco Packet Tracer 6.0 icon. Right mouse click on that and packet tracer should open.

If this does not work please edit your answer and PM me.

The installer puts its files into:

/usr/local/PacketTracer6/

The executable is:

/usr/local/PacketTracer6/bin/PacketTracer6

So you can also create a link in /usr/local/bin to be able to run from the command-line:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/PacketTracer6/bin/PacketTracer6 /usr/local/bin/

Finally, for reference, to find the path and arguments used when a program was run from the gui, you can use: ps auxfwww | less.

Ubuntu – Problem with start Cisco Packet Tracer 6 on ubuntu 14.04 64bit

I had the same issue, but I got rid of it by installing

sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d:i386 libqt4-qt3support:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libqtwebkit4:i386 libqt4-scripttools:i386

just copy and paste into the terminal.
