ROS 2 Humble installation on Raspberry pi 4
Hello,
I'm trying to install ROS2 Humble on my raspberry pi 4 B. I've been following the installation steps for Ubuntu (Debian) on the humble documentation. However, when I try sudo apt install ros-humble-desktop I get the error E: Unable to locate package ros-humble-desktop
My OS is Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Jammy 64-bit from the Raspberry Pi imager, and the linux kernel version is 5.15.0-1017-raspi.
When I run sudo apt update I get:
Hit:1 http://packages.ros.org/ros2/ubuntu jammy InRelease
Hit:2 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports jammy InRelease
Hit:3 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports jammy-updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports jammy-backports InRelease
Hit:5 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports jammy-security InRelease

Is the ros-desktop package the same as ros-humble-desktop? Thank you!
I was successful at installing ros-humble-base over Ubuntu 22.04 Server (64-bit) LTS on my RPi4 with the idea of adding the Ubuntu desktop (intended Xfce) later and adding the ROS2 visualization packages, tutorials, and demos that come with ros-humble-desktop after that. I should mention I was unable to get the Xfce with TightVNCserver properly configured so starting with Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop would have worked better.
