No GNS3 version 2 on Ubuntu 17.10

[FrankAtGitHub1]

Hi there,

i'm having an issue, which was already reported as issue #2290. This thread was closed, but i cannot install gns3 by doing the following, which was the solution to the other issue mentioned:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/unstable -> no problem sudo apt-get update -> done sudo apt-get install gns3-gui -> is not an option !

When doing sudo apt-get install gns -> hitting tab twice, i only see the following options:

gns3 gns3-iou gnss-sdr

gns3 though is the legacy version 0.86.

Did someone move the package from the unstable tree? Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm running:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 Codename: artful

Thx!

Hi @FrankAtGitHub1, please use stable branch: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/ppa Let us know if it helps. Cheers, Dominik

Hi,

when adding ppa:gns3/ppa i may install the following:

gns3 -> this installs version 0.8.7, but i need a version < 2.x gns3-iou -> i do not have iou images

So this does not help.

BR,

Frank

Hi @FrankAtGitHub1,

Have you updated this repository after adding:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/ppa

Could you also send to us output of this command:

Many thanks! Cheers, Dominik

Thank you Frank.

And here we have the reason, Basically on 17.10 we don't support 32-bit architecture, only 64-bit. Version 32-bit is available on older versions of Ubuntu.

What I can say from myself that there are two options: 1) Upgrade to 64-bit (of course it can be hard and you may loose your data). 2) Build gns3 from sources: https://docs.gns3.com/1QXVIihk7dsOL7Xr7Bmz4zRzTsJ02wklfImGuHwTlaA4/index.html#h.gxybzkr97f48 But we cannot guarantee you that all features will be available, this is up to our dependencies.

Kindest regards, Dominik
