I am using Ubuntu 20.04 on Oracle VM, I have installed ROS noetic. After that, I tried to follow with Jackal robotic tutorial provided by Clearpath robotic company and when I tried to execute the [sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-jackal-simulator ros-noetic-jackal-desktop ros-noetic-jackal-navigation] , I got the following messages:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package ros-noetic-jackal-simulator E: Unable to locate package ros-noetic-jackal-desktop

It seems that maybe repositories for ROS aren't enabled (universe in Software & Updates)? Did you run sudo apt-get update after setting up the ROS keys etc.? You could build it from source too, if it will be not a problem too.

Hi @muntasir.mommani the jackal simulator package is not available from apt yet, still pointing to melodic distro.

As you can see in this thread: https://github.com/jackal/jackal_simu... there is no plans to move it noetic. The melodic version should work but it needs to be built from source.

so if i want to use jackal simulator and repo, I have to give up noetic and use melodic?
