How to install ROS on Ubuntu 14.10?
I was going through some threads like this answer
http://answers.ros.org/question/202686/compiling-on-ubuntu-1410/?answer=202688#post-id-202688
It says that ROS Jade supports 14.10 if I am not wrong.
I am currently at this stage of the installation process.
http://wiki.ros.org/jade/Installation/Ubuntu#Installation-1
After doing a sudo apt-get update.
Should I install Xserver again by running
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev-lts-utopic mesa-common-dev-lts-utopic libxatracker-dev-lts-utopic libopenvg1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic libgles2-mesa-dev-lts-utopic libgles1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic libgbm-dev-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic.
I am not sure whether to run the above command as it was mentioned that it can destroy the Xserver for 14.04 but obviously I am on 14.10.
Just to make it sure, so should I run the above one before I execute sudo apt-get install ros-jade-desktop-full ?

I don't know the background of that problem, but I would only install the other packages if the ros install does not work. It should be safe to try to install ros-jade-desktop-full. Either it works or it should say that it can't work.

sudo apt-get install ros-jade-desktop-full worked in my case. Trying out the tutorials now.
