Cisco Packet tracer not logging in on Ubuntu 18.04

  • 772

I installed Cisco packet tracer on ubuntu 18.04 using this link. It works perfectly fine on "Guest session" but does not login to my cisco account. It throws this error whenever I try to login and asks to force quit:

./libcrypto.so.1.0.0: no version information available (required by ./PacketTracer7)
Floating point exception (core dumped)
cisco 18.04

  1. For users who dual boot Windows, I was able to login after symlink-ing the Windows fonts to /usr/share/fonts. In my case, I did the below:

    ln -s /media/bjorn/Windows/Windows/Fonts /usr/share/fonts/windowsfonts

    And to re-cache the fonts:

    fc-cache

    Before this, I did try sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer but it didn't work and perhaps packet tracer is using some extra fonts not included by ttf-mscorefonts-installer. So I have to resort to the solution above.

    I found out about this from the arch linux forums, which involved installing ttf-ms-fonts. That package is for Arch Linux however, for Ubuntu it is ttf-mscorefonts-installer (which didn't work for me).
