ROS Installation error: Hash Mismatch errors

General Support
1

I was trying to install ROS on my laptop, but even after numerous tries, i keep getting Hash mismatch errors. I would really appreciate any help.

I have gone thorough the ros forums and StackOverflow and they all suggest the following solution, which did not solve the issue.
Suggested solutions:

sudo rm -rfv /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

The errors are as follows:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

When i tried the following:

sudo apt install ros-noetic-desktop-full --fix-missing

The installation began but resulted in an error as follows:

Hi Joseph1001,

Maybe the next link will help you:

Is a common repository error.

Best regards,

Seba.

Maybe you can use apt instead apt-get or change the repository that are you using.
