I have problem with Cisco Packet Tracer.I have v. 6.0.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 64bit. I would like to know how fix it. When I use command /usr/local/PacketTracer6/packettracer to run PT I see only Starting Packet Tracer 6.0.1. When I click on the Packet Tracer in Dash – nothing happens. Help me. I need this program for study.
I thought, probel is with 32bit program on 64 bit ubuntu, so I find this site http://ssb.stsci.edu/ureka/dev/docs/32bit_iraf.html. I install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 but again nothing. And I sorry for my english but I wasnt born in english-speaking country.

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.

Ubuntu – Cisco Packet Tracer 7.1 won’t start

I was able to run Cisco Packet Tracer 7.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 by doing the following:

1-Cisco Packet Tracer 7.1 requires an older version of a package not present on Ubuntu 16.04 so you need to get it by typing

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.7_amd64.deb

2- To install the package you just downloaded type

sudo dpkg -i libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.7_amd64.deb

3- Verify proper installation using this commands

sudo updatedb; locate libicui18n

Check for the following packages to be installed:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicui18n.so.52
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicui18n.so.52.1

Those are the packages needed by Cisco Packet Tracer to work properly.

Now you can type packettracer on terminal and the program should start.

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.
