What steps did you do before getting this error?

Asked by dornhege on 2015-07-08 08:30:46 UTC

It seems that you did not include the repositories properly, points 1.1 to 1.4 of http://wiki.ros.org/jade/Installation/Ubuntu

Asked by Javier V. Gómez on 2015-07-08 09:17:20 UTC

Hi dornhege, i have followed the steps that has been mentioned while installing. I gave the commands in terminal whatever they have posted, and before running the commands, in terminal i have followed the steps, to enable all the options that has been mentioned.

Asked by Dp on 2015-07-08 09:49:46 UTC

Can you show us the output of those steps?

Asked by Javier V. Gómez on 2015-07-08 10:10:26 UTC

HI Javi,

Actually those commands ran in terminal so i didnt have the whole set of commands and process. do you want me to record and send you the whole again?

Asked by Dp on 2015-07-10 22:27:07 UTC

Same issue here. Don't know what I did wrong.

Asked by rafaelsoares on 2015-07-23 12:42:00 UTC

@rafaelsoares Which Ubuntu version do you have?

Asked by Javier V. Gómez on 2015-07-23 13:26:37 UTC

ubuntu 15.04 vivid

Asked by rafaelsoares on 2015-07-23 13:48:47 UTC

Have you correctly followed all the instructions?

Asked by Javier V. Gómez on 2015-07-23 14:06:46 UTC

Yes I did. What I am doing right now is trying to install it from the source. Any results I will post here.

Asked by rafaelsoares on 2015-07-23 14:26:07 UTC

Nothing worked. I am still getting the error unable to locate package ros-jade-desktop-full

Asked by rafaelsoares on 2015-07-23 16:13:29 UTC

This error message means that either you didn't follow all setup steps or something in between went wrong. Without any outputs to know what is going on it is impossible to give any advice. Edit the question/Post a question with all commands and outputs if you want any help.

Asked by dornhege on 2015-07-24 04:02:07 UTC

OK, I will list all my steps here.

First Step:

rafael@rafael-desktop:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 15.04 Release: 15.04 Codename: vivid

Asked by rafaelsoares on 2015-07-24 14:58:34 UTC

Second Step:

rafael@rafael-desktop:~$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Then finally I get this:

rafael@rafael-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install ros-jade-desktop-full Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package ros-jade-desktop-full

Asked by rafaelsoares on 2015-07-24 15:03:25 UTC

Hi Javi,

Here are my steps in the below link, you could find them http://durgaprasadnasik.blogspot.com/2015/07/ros-installation-issue.html

Asked by Dp on 2015-07-25 07:25:14 UTC

I have no idea what the error is. Did you follow the point 1.1 on http://wiki.ros.org/jade/Installation/Ubuntu ? You can also try to run command in 1.2 typing vivid (if I am correct) instead of $(lsb_release -sc).
