noetic requires that you use ubuntu 20. Some people have installed noetic in a docker container, but I wouldn't recommend doing so if you are new to ros.

Thank you for your suggestion this is the first for me trying linux OS, I don't know a thing about Ubuntu or ROS I am just started to learn but installing itself a trouble for me if you can please suggest me some installation guide or tutorial for me (other than http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installati...) my OS name is Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, OS type 64-bit, with GNOME Version 42.4.

Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS is the first OS that has only ROS2 Humble support.

Source: https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Releas...

There is an option to have ROS1 Noetic next to ROS2 Humble, but it is highly discouraged for new users:

The release of ROS 2 Humble (and Rolling) on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish marks the first ROS 2 release on a platform with no official ROS 1 release. While ROS 1 Noetic will continue to be supported through the duration of its long term support window, it will only target Ubuntu 20.04. Alternatively, there are upstream variants of ROS 1 packages in Debian and Ubuntu that are not maintained as an official distribution by the ROS maintainers.

I really suggest that you just start with the ROS 2 Humble LTS version, it will be easier for you for sure.

Do you have a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 or are you upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04? I had somewhat similar problemswith Gazebo after the distro upgrade. Please add in the edit of your question whole error log (after the steps from https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Instal...). Have you tried these steps as here? sudo apt update --fix-missing, sudo apt install -f etc.? Please add logs after these commands in the edit as well. You should remove ROS1 repositories in your Software & Updates -> "Other Software" as well
