the error is in Desktop-Full Install and it said that: unable to correct problem, you have held broken packages. what can i do? i also install ros on ubunto 14.04 and it was successful but i don't know what can i do about 12.04
In your Ubuntu Desktop page, goto (in left vertical bar of icons):
Ubuntu Software Center -> Edit -> Software Sources -> (Here Select in Download from:) Server for United States.
After doing this and saving, follow the installation procedure given here:
http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installatio...
This should install without any errors now. The reason why your ROS didn't install initially may be due to 'Software Sources' which did not contain updated repository for Hydro. I hope this works now. Best Wishes!
PS: It is not necessary that you only select Server for United States all the times. It depends on which server the complete package is available. Right now, it is available at Server for United States.
ROS Indigo is not supported on Ubuntu 12.04.
If you want to install ROS on 12.04, the recommended version is ROS Hydro: http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installatio...
