and here is the output when i tried sudo apt install ros-melodic-desktop

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package ros-melodic-desktop

before that i've done this,

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

and this,

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116

just like in the tutorials on ROS wiki

any help would be appreciated.

okay, so what i've done is, export ROS_OS_OVERRIDE=ubuntu:18.04:bionic and sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu bionic main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' now my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list is deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu bionic main but now i got another problem, which is unmet dependencies when i tried sudo apt install ros-melodic-desktop

Please do no post follow-up questions as comments on answers. Comments have very little visibility, so it's better to open a new question.
