Installing ROS on Linux Mint "Ulyana"

Hello all!

First things first - this is all very new to me. I'm doing some work that will utilize ROS quite heavily. In order to set myself up for this, I have configured my machine to dual-boot Windows & Linux - all seems to be working fine so far! However, I know little to nothing about Linux and so I just installed an apparently recent & user-friendly version. I am running Linux Mint 20 "ulyana" with the Cinnamon desktop. Apologies if that doesn't actually make sense and I'm mixing my words around a bit - hopefully you get the idea!

ANYWAY, I'm now trying to get ROS installed, but I'm encountering some issues. I understand that ROS is directly compatible with Linux, and I've come across multiple forums surrounding installing on Linux Mint. I've been following the install instructions at http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installati... and I encounter some errors that prevent me from completing the process:

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


sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654

Above are my entries and the response from the terminal. Seems the error primarily relates to my release (ulyana) - I've had a look through that packages URL and confirmed that ulyana isn't in ... (more)

The line that worked for me is:

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

"focal" goes where "$(lsb_release -sc)" is, in that first copy-paste.

Whereas focal is the ubuntu that ulyana is based upon.

That worked for me! Many thanks. Your file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list should now contain this:

deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu focal main

Now carry on with the rest of the installation instructions.
