Hi Jia, Please take search through answers.ros.org and if you don't find a similar problem there reask your question there. There are some known issues with installing on 14.04.2 such as: http://answers.ros.org/question/203610/ubuntu-14042-unmet-dependencies/ Your error looks slightly different. If you ask your question again please also mention your architecture. We try to keep the mailing list focused on community discussions and announcements. http://wiki.ros.org/Support Tully On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 4:30 AM, JIA Pei via ros-users < ros-users@lists.ros.org> wrote: > > Hi, all: > > I'm using Ubuntu 14.04: > > :/$ lsb_release -a > No LSB modules are available. > Distributor ID: Ubuntu > Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS > Release: 14.04 > Codename: trusty > > > Strictly followed http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu, but > failed to install it.
