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

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 :)

These are the steps that worked for me in order to make Packet Tracer work in Ubuntu 18.04:





  1. Install the Qt libraries with apt-get:



    sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5 libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5svg5 libqt5script5 libqt5scripttools5 libqt5sql5



  2. Install libcu52:



    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. Install libpng121:



    wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb
    sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb



Now you can start Packet Tracer with the packettracer command.

  • Muchas gracias Lucas! I did follow your steps and packettracer now is working fine! However I don't know exactly what was the problem, because I know that those libraries were already installed on my Ubuntu, I did it many times before. But the good thing is that I just made copy/pasete what you wrote and now it's working. Maybe I was doing something wrong before. Thanks a lot!

I was in the same boat. After Googling three days I figure out that a lot of libraries are missing or not available in correct path.



Following libraries are not installed in correct path



libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5, libQt5WebKit.so.5, libQt5Multimedia.so.5, libQt5PrintSupport.so.5, libQt5Svg.so.5, libQt5Widgets.so.5, libQt5Gui.so.5, libQt5Network.so.5, libQt5Xml.so.5, libQt5Script.so.5, libQt5ScriptTools.so.5, libQt5core.so.5



Following libraries have been replaced with updated version in Ubuntu



libicui18n.so.52 and libicuuc.so.52



Following library is missing



libpng12.so.0



The correct way to install and fix this issue is following



access root shell prompt and install packet tracer normally



$sudo /bin/bash
#./install


view image for screenshot



run following command



#chmod +x set_ptenv.sh
#chmod +x set_qtenv.sh
#./ set_ptenv.sh
#./ set_qtenv.sh
#cp /opt/pt/lib/libQt5* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
#wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/341176988/libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.7_amd64.deb
#dpkg –i libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.7_amd64.deb
# updated
#cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
#echo “deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ xenial main” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
#apt-get update
#apt-get install libpng12-0

After system restart run packet tracer with packettracer command

    I think you have installed all the needed libraries for Packet Tracer.



    Now do the following, that may fix your problem:




    1. sudo mkdir /opt/pt/libwebkit

    2. sudo cp /opt/pt/lib/libQt5WebKit.so* /opt/pt/libwebkit

    3. Then start Packet Tracer with: sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/pt/libwebkit/ /opt/pt/bin/PacketTracer7


    It should give you some error messages that some libraries are not found. I had to install libpng12 and libqt5sql5.



    libpng12 here: https://packages.debian.org/de/jessie/amd64/libpng12-0/download



    libqt5sql5 with apt: sudo apt install libqt5sql5



    After that run PacketTracer in /opt/pt/bin, it will crash and give you an error. Then just run packettracer in a terminal, it should work now.



    Hopefully this will help you run Packet Tracer 7 in Ubuntu 18.04 :)

    • Thanks for your response @gitgudgithub! I did that, and had to install some other libraries too but, at the end, PacketTracer crashes. Sometimes it opens but it still freeze for some seconds, and close agains with the Segmentation fault msg. Perhaps it's an issue with Ubuntu 18.04. Were you be able to run PacketTracer on 18.04?

    • A friend told me today that you have to install Qt with all its libraries from here: qt.io/… and then download + install Packet Tracer.

      – gitgudgithub
      May 15 '18 at 19:29













    • You'll also need Qt4: download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.6

    In addition to installing the libQT and libPNG12 packages missing, I did these steps to fix the segfault error.
    The best way to get libPNG12 is to use the software sources app and add
    "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main"
    as an additional repository, then use Apt to install it.
    Adding the repo will keep that version secure instead of just downloading and installing a Deb file manually.
    I also noticed some files weren't extracting due to a permission error. The extraction must happen with sudo privileges.
    Create a folder for the packet tracer .tar.gz file downloaded
    Put the .tar.gz file in the folder
    Open terminal in that folder
    sudo tar -xvf Packet Tracer 7.2.1.tar.gz
    sudo ./install

      wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb
      sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb



    Now you can start Packet Tracer with the packettracer command.





    1 Thank you, gitgudgithub, for pointing that out.

    • Muchas gracias Lucas! I did follow your steps and packettracer now is working fine! However I don't know exactly what was the problem, because I know that those libraries were already installed on my Ubuntu, I did it many times before. But the good thing is that I just made copy/pasete what you wrote and now it's working. Maybe I was doing something wrong before. Thanks a lot!

    I was in the same boat. After Googling three days I figure out that a lot of libraries are missing or not available in correct path.



    Following libraries are not installed in correct path



    libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5, libQt5WebKit.so.5, libQt5Multimedia.so.5, libQt5PrintSupport.so.5, libQt5Svg.so.5, libQt5Widgets.so.5, libQt5Gui.so.5, libQt5Network.so.5, libQt5Xml.so.5, libQt5Script.so.5, libQt5ScriptTools.so.5, libQt5core.so.5



    Following libraries have been replaced with updated version in Ubuntu



    libicui18n.so.52 and libicuuc.so.52



    Following library is missing



    libpng12.so.0



    The correct way to install and fix this issue is following



    access root shell prompt and install packet tracer normally



    $sudo /bin/bash
    #./install


    view image for screenshot



    run following command



    #chmod +x set_ptenv.sh
    #chmod +x set_qtenv.sh
    #./ set_ptenv.sh

    #cp /opt/pt/lib/libQt5* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

            I think you have installed all the needed libraries for Packet Tracer.



            Now do the following, that may fix your problem:




            1. sudo mkdir /opt/pt/libwebkit

            2. sudo cp /opt/pt/lib/libQt5WebKit.so* /opt/pt/libwebkit

            3. Then start Packet Tracer with: sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/pt/libwebkit/ /opt/pt/bin/PacketTracer7


            It should give you some error messages that some libraries are not found. I had to install libpng12 and libqt5sql5.



            libpng12 here: https://packages.debian.org/de/jessie/amd64/libpng12-0/download



            libqt5sql5 with apt: sudo apt install libqt5sql5



            After that run PacketTracer in /opt/pt/bin, it will crash and give you an error. Then just run packettracer in a terminal, it should work now.



            Hopefully this will help you run Packet Tracer 7 in Ubuntu 18.04 :)

            • Thanks for your response @gitgudgithub! I did that, and had to install some other libraries too but, at the end, PacketTracer crashes. Sometimes it opens but it still freeze for some seconds, and close agains with the Segmentation fault msg. Perhaps it's an issue with Ubuntu 18.04. Were you be able to run PacketTracer on 18.04?

            A friend told me today that you have to install Qt with all its libraries from here: qt.io/… and then download + install Packet Tracer.

            You'll also need Qt4: download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.6

            In addition to installing the libQT and libPNG12 packages missing, I did these steps to fix the segfault error.
            The best way to get libPNG12 is to use the software sources app and add
            "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main"
            as an additional repository, then use Apt to install it.
            Adding the repo will keep that version secure instead of just downloading and installing a Deb file manually.
            I also noticed some files weren't extracting due to a permission error. The extraction must happen with sudo privileges.
            Create a folder for the packet tracer .tar.gz file downloaded
            Put the .tar.gz file in the folder
            Open terminal in that folder
            sudo tar -xvf Packet Tracer 7.2.1.tar.gz
            sudo ./install
