@nullspace, I'm not sure about this, but you can try executing again this step of the Environment setup of the installation guide (http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installation/Ubuntu) in your current shell session.

source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash

sir i tried the same above link steps for nearly 5 times but could not solve the issue , after executing this"source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash" no output

sir if i type " rosversion -d" command iam getting

I’m currently using Melodic in Ubuntu 18.04 and I haven’t had similar problems. Let me install Ubuntu 20.04 in a VM to try to reproduce the issue and I will come back to you.

I tested the installation on VirtualBox with the following commands and didn't get any error. Sorry, I can't give any additional help.

sudo apt install ros-noetic-desktop
source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash
roscore
rosversion -d    # shows "noetic"

Maybe the issue is related to wsl.
