Installing ROS Melody/Noetic on LMDE6

Post by AngryNerd »

LMDE 6 user here. So I followed the instructions for debian in the ROS wiki guide website (https://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Debian) but after adding "contrib non-free non-free-firmware" to my repositories, it would only give me an error when I tried this code in the instructions.

Code: Select all

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' 

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654
The error was that it cannot get the key server. Because of this, I can't even get the apt to download anything related to ROS, since it does not have access to any files from the related repository. I don't even understand what I did wrong here.
