Help Installing Cisco Packet Tracer 8.2.2 – Missing libgl1-mesa-glx on Linux Lite 7.0 - DoesntMatter - 04-20-2025

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install Cisco Packet Tracer 8.2.2 on Linux Lite 7.0, which is based on Ubuntu 24.04. However, when I run the `.deb` installer, I get the following error:

packettracer depends on libgl1-mesa-glx; however: Package libgl1-mesa-glx is not installed.


I tried installing `mesa-utils` and other related packages, but it seems `libgl1-mesa-glx` is no longer available in the 24.04 repositories. I also searched for `.deb` packages online, but couldn't download them successfully from the Ubuntu mirrors.

Does anyone know a safe workaround for this? Maybe a replacement library or a PPA that brings this dependency back? I’d like to avoid downgrading my system or switching distros just for this.

Thanks in advance for any help!
