I have followed the ROS site's instructions on installing ROS indigo on Trusty Ubuntu through virtualbox, but I get this error. I know indigo is now released, which was the previous problem for a couple of questions

Did you add the ROS repository to your list of repos

More specifically, can you paste the result of cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' command?

@130s Not sure if this question is still active but worth a shot. I tried installing jade on my 14.04 and it is not allowing me to setup my sources. Whenever I try the command to setup it up as the tutorial says my terminal simply breaks a new line and does nothing.

And cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list does the same... breaks a line and does nothing, forcing me to Crtl + C

@preto please open a new question. Comment sections is not supposed to ask a new one (and you won't get as much attention).

That is weird if you followed the instructions. Did you do all of those steps?

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu trusty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full

Thanks, I'm newer to Linux so reading the instructions I wasn't sure what the commands for each step were. So writing them out as commands really helped. It's installing for me now.

I am getting the same error. I tried the 4 steps and when I do :

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full

I get the error.

I am copy-pasting the command on the http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installati... , hence do not see any typos happening.

When I check for the ros-latest.list, I get the following output:

....@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu vivid main

Let me know what might be going on.

I am running ubuntu on vmware player

you should use Ubuntu 14.04 for ROS indigo (trusty tahr). Or install Ros Jade on Ubuntu 15.04 (vivid)

use Ubuntu 14.04 for Indigo or 16.04 for Kinetic. I think in 15.04 Ros Jade would work. And you should open a new question and not ask a question as "answer" to another question.

Thanks Mehdi, I am so sorry I am newbie. Fine it works 15.04 Vivid ROS Jade.

Thanks Medhi. It is exactly that with Ubuntu 16.04, we must install ROS Kinetic.

just replace the word "indigo" by "kinetic" in all the turtlebot packages you want to install.

Thank you Mehdi..I will reinstall ubuntu (14.04 or 16.04) ... What is more recommended now ROS indigo or ROS kinetic .. There is more documentation on ROS indigo ... By cons, kinetic is the newest .. Does it contain more features? What you advise me: ubuntu 14.04=> indigo or ubuntu 16.04 => kinetic

emna gravatar image emna  ( 2017-01-17 08:05:41 -0500 )edit

I encountered the same problem while installing indigo and it turns out that indigo is only supported on 14.04 which wasn't the case with me.
