I have ran into an error whilst trying to install ROS2, not sure what to do.

Some background:

  1. I'm running ubuntu version 22.04.3 using a virtual machine.
  2. I'm trying to install ROS 2 Iron (installation process is described here: https://docs.ros.org/en/iron/Installation/Ubuntu-Install-Debians.html

This is the command I'm entering in the terminal and the message its returning:

I've tried doing a sudo apt update but that didn't solve the issue. Someone was having a similar issue here: The repository does not have a Release file but I couldn't find the line and file that was referred to in the solution.

Please let me know if you need more information

Please also try searching for the error that you are seeing: '404 not found when sudo apt update' should provide many results. $\endgroup$

The "does not have a release file" error is because there is no ros1 binary release for Ubuntu 22. You should remove these ros1 repository lines from your apt config.

  • $\begingroup$ After reading your updates you look to have successfully followed the ROS 2 instructions. However this is the right answer as it looks like you have attempted to install ROS 1 in the past and there are remnants of that installation which are causing your errors. If you need more help please edit your question to show your apt configuration files. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I have tried removing any ros1 repositories using the command: ''' sudo apt-get purge ros-*. ''' but at the end of the command it had the following: ''' The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: linux-image-6.2.0-26-generic linux-modules-6.2.0-26-generic linux-modules-extra-6.2.0-26-generic Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 8 not to upgrade. ''' $\endgroup$

Did you add the apt key?

sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl gnupg2 lsb-release
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/ros.asc | sudo apt-key add -

  • $\begingroup$ HI Zheng, I have tried adding the apt key based on the instructions here: docs.ros.org/en/iron/Installation/Ubuntu-Install-Debians.html $\endgroup$

    Nov 20 at 23:13
  • $\begingroup$ Also trying to run the command: sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl -y returns the errors that I pointed out in the image above. $\endgroup$

    Nov 20 at 23:14
  • $\begingroup$ This looks like a second error that I didn't see in my first pass. You likely have both errors. The curl command doesn't appear in the summary above. Please rerun and edit your question to add the results. $\endgroup$
