Need to install Cisco packet tracer and having issues.

[JKelly]

I am using a desktop with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and this will not install on the system. I am getting errors in the Terminal but following all the help from the ubuntu helpdesk. This is for Networking class for my college.

My terminal output:


jonica-kelly@dreammachine:~$ sudo apt-get install ./CiscoPacketTracer_8.2.2_Ubuntu_64bit.deb


[sudo] password for jonica-kelly:


Reading package lists... Done


E: Unsupported file ./CiscoPacketTracer_8.2.2_Ubuntu_64bit.deb


When I tried it from the appcenter it states that one of the dependices is not able to install.

It is this file: libgl1-mesa-glx

What can I do or what command do I need to install? Is there a place for the file that I need on the web, as I am not finding it.

I'd try this:

sudo apt --fix-broken install ./CiscoPacketTracer_8.2.2_Ubuntu_64bit.deb

I'd try this:

sudo apt --fix-broken install ./CiscoPacketTracer_8.2.2_Ubuntu_64bit.deb

I will do that as soon as we get done with family day out and shopping for weekly groceries. I will come back and let you know if it works.

Thank you!
