I have this ubuntu:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 17.10
Release:    17.10
Codename:   artful

I have followed everything from the page Ubuntu install of ROS Lunar.

I did everything on this page, but when I do:

sudo apt-get install ros-lunar-desktop-full

I get the following message:

Unable to locate package ros-lunar-desktop-full

Is there something I can check to find why it isn't finding the package?

apt update returns:

Reading list of packages ... Done
W: chmod 0700 of directory / var / lib / apt / lists / partial failed - SetupAPTPartialDirectory (1: Operation not allowed)
E: Could not open the lock file "/ var / lib / apt / lists / lock" - open (13: Permission denied)

  • Try: apt-cache search ros-lunar. If that fails with no hits, you probably have an mistake in your repository specification. Please post the output of apt update.

  • @MartinW apt-cache search ros-lunar returns 227 lines.

  • The problem with your apt-update is a separate issue. Looks like you may have aborted an apt command and left a lock file. You may need to delete that manually, after making sure that there is no apt command currently running using sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock.

Ros does not support Lunar for artful (17.10), see the Ros wiki. I believe that you are out of luck, at least without a bunch of personal work or reverting to a zesty (17.04) install. You might try compiling and installing from source but since they are not supporting 17.10, your luck may very, and people trying this have had trouble.
