Good morning,

I followed all the instructions. I have Ubuntu 20. Installed on raspberry pi4 when I run sudo apt install ros-desktop-full, I get the error above "Unable to locate package ros-noetic-full".

Please advise.

What is the output of uname -rvmp and cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list?

Also:

I followed all the instructions

always link to any instructions you followed or are referring to.

We cannot know which instructions you've followed, and there are many.

And I just noticed:

when I run sudo apt install ros-desktop-full

that's actually not the correct package name.

get the error above "Unable to locate package ros-noetic-full".

And neither is ros-noetic-full.

Please do not paraphrase errors. Copy-paste them verbatim into your question.

We cannot help you otherwise.

Good Afternoon Thank you for your response. I was following the instruction posted here: http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installati...(Step:1.4) with the command sudo apt install ros-noetic-desktop-full and got the error E: Unable to locate package ros-noetic-desktop-full ....

To your follow-up question:

Output from uname -rvmp is :

5.4.0-1011-raspi #11-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 8 07:43:33 UTC 2020 aarch64 aarch64

Output from cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list is :

According to status_page/ros_noetic_ufv8.html?q=desktop, the binary packages for arm64 of desktop_full are not building right now.

It is released, but the red squares indicate the binaries are missing, which typically means the build is failing for some reason.

A look at the release job seems to indicate that two packages which desktop_full depends on fail to build:

And from looking at their dependencies, it would seem gazebo_ros_pkgs and gazebo_ros_control isn't building on arm64 at the moment.

I haven't checked why that is the case, but it would seem that's why ultimately desktop_full is not available.

If you don't absolutely need Gazebo -- and I doubt it would make sense to run Gazebo on an RPi, even a 4 -- then you could install something other than desktop_full, something which doesn't include the simulators metapackage.

Okay thank you. So should I guess I just have to wait for that to be functional then. Should I try back in 2 days or would it be linger than that?

Without looking at the reason for the build failure I can't say whether 2 days is enough.

If you'd like to know, I would encourage you to take a look at the issue tracker of gazebo_ros_pkgs. There may already be an issue open to track this.

And it will always go faster if more people help.

Will do. Thanks.

But you do want to run Gazebo on an RPi then?

I am looking to use ROS powered RPlidar borax, new territory for me..do you think I would have use for Gazebo for this?

Regards

Gazebo is a physics based robot simulator.

To use a rpilidar, I don't believe you'll need a simulator.

Or at least: you most likely don't need to run a simulator on your RPi.
