  We added a link for HTTP download. It’s much slower than the torrent, but at least you can eventually get the VM.

    Hi,
    
    The torrent files are poorly seeded, so the download never start.
    
    Can you provide a direct link for the VMs? I don’t find the http download links that you are referring.
    
    Thanks.

Yeah! I tried to lauched the rosIndigo64Bits VM, with the VirtualBox application from my PC windows 10, and then i got this error message:
-VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED).-
I was wondering if i could have a little hint to solve this! Thanks!!

  You should enable the VT-x in the UEFI (new BIOS for Windows 8 and 10).
  It worked for me.

  Do you really need those old versions? The current ROS version with Long Term Support (LTS) is Indigo. It is available both on the torrent and using HTTP.

Hi all,

I’m using VM VirtualBox to running Ubuntu-14.04.4. And I wanted to import ROS Indigo into it. But when I imported it, I faced an error like below :

Could not create the imported medium ‘C:\Users\SEANO\VirtualBox VMs\RosIndigo32Bits\RosIndigo32Bits-disk1.vmdk’ (VERR_VD_VMDK_INVALID_FORMAT)

Code d’erreur : VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)

Composant : ApplianceWrap

Interface : IAppliance {8398f026-4add-4474-5bc3-2f9f2140b23e}

Can someone give me an idea? Thanks..

Regards,

Seano

Hey I am currently running Ubuntu 14.04 on my VMware.
To use this ROS indigo 64Bit, do I have to uninstall my Ubuntu 14.04 and just install this file so that I can have Ubuntu + ROS ?

  In VMware and other virtualization tools, you can have multiple virtual machines, running the same operating system. In your specific case, you can keep your existing Ubuntu 14.04 and install the virtual machine with Ubuntu+ROS. They will not interfere with each other.

Do you have any HTTP download link for the ROSHydro 64 bits? I’m following a tutorial (2015) and they wrote that they recommended using Hydro version

  Sorry, this VM isn’t available any more. Please use instead the more recent ROS Indigo VM.
