E: Unable to locate package ros-kinetic-desktop-full
Is ros-kinetic-desktop-full available? I have followed the steps from http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat... but keep getting the error E: Unable to locate package ors-kinetic-desktop-full
when I enter sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
Also if I try to click on the link given on the installation page where it says "or click here" the link fails.
It should be available, yes. See status_page/ros_kinetic_default.html?q=desktop. That is for x86/64 though, and you don't tell us your architecture / platform.
@dolphin123, did Step 1.2 succeed? Did you do
sudo apt-get update
as instructed in Step 1.4? Also, keep in mind that "ROS Kinetic ONLY supports Wily (Ubuntu 15.10), Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04) and Jessie (Debian 8) for debian packages."I am using a 64-bit PC with Ubuntu 16.04. Step 1.2 succeeded and I updated, but I still get the error above that the kinetic desktop full package cannot be located.
Does
apt-cache search ros-kinetic
find anything at all?In my case
apt-cache search ros-kinetic
produced a long list which included ros-kinetic-desktop but not ros-kinetic-desktop-full which apparently is not included in the download from http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu . Installing per the second option in step 1.4 worked fine.As my platform is Ubuntu Trusty(14.04), only Indigo Igloo and Jade Turtle work for me. When I tried to install ros-kinetic-desktop-full, it reported the error as yours.
The complete list of target platform and ros version is at http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0003.html... .
I tried installing ROS and got the same error running Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS. I tried everything mentioned here , but it ain't working
