I am having some issues with Packet Tracer 7 on Ubuntu 18.04: when I launch it with ./PacketTracer7 within the /opt/pt/bin directory, it opens but close immediately with a lot of:
"Warning: libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile"
error msgs on the console.
The thing is, I installed PacketTracer7 on Ubuntu 16.04 and I remember that I had that issue with the libqt5multimedia.so.5 dependency, but I was able to find the solution (thanks to askubuntu and google) by installing the dependencies. So, everything perfect with 16.04.
But I'm a bit lost now. I can't realize where the issue come from, because I know the qt5 libs are installed on the system.
This is what I see when I run dpkg --get-selections
:
libqt4-xmlpatterns:amd64 install
libqt5concurrent5:amd64 install
libqt5core5a:amd64 install
libqt5dbus5:amd64 install
libqt5gui5:amd64 install

libqt5webkit5:amd64 install
libqt5webkit5-dev:amd64 install
libqt5widgets5:amd64 install
libqt5x11extras5:amd64 install
libqt5xml5:amd64
I've tried to uninstall pt and the qt5 libs and install everything again, but nothing… the same issue.
Did anybody install PacketTracer7 on Ubuntu 18.04?
I would be very happy to have your help for doing it!
Thanks and forgive me for my poor english 🙂
