Hi , when i try to init rosdep using sudo rosdep init , i have the error : ERROR: cannot download default sources list from:
https://raw.github.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list
Website may be down.
I am using ros groovy on 12.04 ubuntu. Can anyone help me to troubleshoot? Many thanks in advance :)
It means exactly what it says: it tried to open a connection to github.com to download the default sources.list, and failed.
I would start troubleshooting by confirming that your machine has internet connectivity and can ping github.com . You can also try visiting that url directly or trying to fetch it with curl or wget.
If you're only have problems connecting to github, you can always check their status page to see if their servers are having problems.
Hi , I had been facing the same issue of ERROR: cannot download default sources list from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros... Website may be down.
This error is because of your system date & time settings. I corrected my systems date and time settings and rosdep init worked.
On top of what @ahendrix said, it seems github sometimes has temporary and geographically local issues with their CDN (which are not really indicated by their status page). It does happen from time to time that for a couple of hours/days I get frequent 503's on github content.
Usually, retrying the command several times or waiting for a while helps.
Also you might have problems with your proxy settings. Make sure https_proxy and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables are set correctly or unset completely.
