Hi, I am new here and I was trying to install ROS hydro on Ubuntu 12.04.05 LTS. I have followed the ROS wiki instructions but i got this error after:

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

Ubuntu is on a virtual machine by Parallels Box on mac. I'd like to add that the same installation at the same version of ubuntu and ros was fine with typical linux installation (not with virtual machine). I hope someone can help me!

This is what I've got after sudo apt-get update

Hydro reached end of life a while ago so I don't believe that the binaries are available for download anymore. I could be wrong but I seem to remember reading this somewhere (just can't recall where).

Is there a reason that you need to use Hydro instead of a newer version such as Kinetic or Lunar?

jayess ( 2017-10-19 18:01:22 -0500 )edit

The package exists in the repositories, and you mention yourself that it works on "a typical Linux installation", so at this point it would seem you might've made a mistake when setting up the repositories.

Can you show the full output of sudo apt-get update? Use the edit button/link for that.

gvdhoorn ( 2017-10-20 02:47:50 -0500 )edit

@jayess: Hydro is EOL, but the package repository still has all the packages. They just won't receive any updates anymore.

gvdhoorn ( 2017-10-20 02:48:25 -0500 )edit

Ah ok. Must have been thinking of Fuerte or older. Thanks for the correction.

jayess ( 2017-10-20 03:08:59 -0500 )edit

All the packages for all older ROS releases - at least back to Box Turtle - are still available. If you can't install them, that either means the mirror you are using hasn't synced them, or your OS isn't compatible with them.

gvdhoorn ( 2017-10-20 03:45:13 -0500 )edit

Good point about compatibility. Forgot about that detail.

jayess ( 2017-10-20 03:58:16 -0500 )edit

I have to use Hydro, because i am using ros to communicate with KUKA YouBot and a lot of packages were created for Hydro.

Skipping all the non-ROS related repositories, we see this:

Hit http://packages.ros.org trusty Release.gpg
Hit http://packages.ros.org trusty Release
Hit http://packages.ros.org trusty/main amd64 Packages
Hit http://packages.ros.org trusty/main i386 Packages
Ign http://packages.ros.org trusty/main TranslationIndex
Ign http://packages.ros.org trusty/main Translation-en_US
Ign http://packages.ros.org trusty/main Translation-en

The trusty there is what I would expect on a Ubuntu Trusty (ie: 14.04) system. For Ubuntu Precise (12.04), it should have precise in those lines.

All other output of apt-get update does show precise files being downloaded.

I have followed the ROS wiki instructions [..]

Did you follow the ROS Indigo installation tutorial by accident?

Can you tell us which instructions you followed specifically?

I followed this one: link text

rubicki ( 2017-10-20 07:09:20 -0500 )edit

There is no trusty on that page anywhere.

You should be able to replace trusty with precise in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list. Then do a apt-get update and try again to install ROS Hydro.

gvdhoorn ( 2017-10-20 07:10:43 -0500 )edit

Ok. Should I remove ros which I installed before this step?

rubicki ( 2017-10-20 07:18:18 -0500 )edit

Have you been able to install any packages? As far as I can tell, you shouldn't have been able to install any packages with the way you have things configured at this point.

gvdhoorn ( 2017-10-20 07:19:18 -0500 )edit

Oh sorry my mistake. I just set up my keys.

rubicki ( 2017-10-20 07:42:24 -0500 )edit

@gvdhoorn everything is working. Thank you for helping me!
