Answer 1

I was facing the same problem and just did that:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-ubuntu-sublime-text-3-bionic.list

Now it works!

Answer 2

Remove broken or 404 repos from your /etc/apt/sources.list.

rvm will fail if you don't remove or comment them out.

To work out which aren't working, run apt-get update and see which ones are marked as failing.

Once you are using rvm, installing Ruby is easy.

rvm install ruby

rvm use ruby --default

I had the same problem.

Answer 3

make sure you can update your system:

sudo apt-get update

and then start rvm installation again.

Update 1:

also it looks like you are using old version of rvm, make sure to update rvm before continuing:

rvm get stable

Answer 4

When you are initially installing rvm, read the notes. For suppose you get notes like,

create a * WARNING: You have '~/.profile' file, you might want to load it, to do that add the following line to '/home/name/.bash_profile':source ~/.profile

Then-> $ sudo gedit /home/name/.bash_profile

   Add line `~/.profile` to the file. Save and close it.

now run $ rvm requirements You should get a success message.

Answer 5

RVM will not install ruby if apt-get is failing. I had the same issue and noticed when running apt-get update, it was failing on "google-chrome.list". I fixed it following these directions and was then able to successfully run apt-get update, which then allowed me to run rvm install ruby.

1. Edit google-chrome.list (assuming you’re on the Stable Channel):

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

2. In the text file that opens edit the file so that the line reads:

deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

3. Try to update again:

sudo apt-get update

4. Try to run RVM again:

rvm install ruby

Answer 6

this problem caused in apt-get update so you have to disable the PPA :

System Settings>Software & Updates>Other Software

then reinstall. this image show disable PPA
