Kubuntu 16.04 Cisco Packet Tracer 7 fail.

[mccalleyt]

I have followed a few install pages to help but I get the same error every time I try to run it.


KDEInit could not launch 'PacketTracer7':
Could not open library '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_PacketTracer7'.
Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_PacketTracer7: (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_PacketTracer7.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)



I am running Kubuntu 16.04 64bit.

I'm having the same issue in the same SO

I have 16.04.1 too and my packettracer directory is /opt/pt7 (default = /opt/pt/)

it works for me:


$sudo ln -s /opt/pt7/packettracer /usr/local/bin/PacketTracer7

$ ls /usr/local/bin/ -la
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 oct 23 17:44 packettracer -> /opt/pt7/packettracer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 oct 23 17:53 PacketTracer7 -> /opt/pt7/packettracer
[...]

Just had that same problem a few minutes ago on Linux Mint KDE 18.

Solved it like this:

sun bin # apt-cache search libkdeinit
pkg-kde-tools - various packaging tools and scripts for KDE Applications

sun bin # apt-get install pkg-kde-tools
...

Now Packettracer starts.
