Answer 1

I had a permission problem, solved with:

sudo chmod 777 log

Answer 2

It isn't unusual to not have a binary package for you distribution, and rvm should try to install from source.

First, check that it didn't actually install it:

rvm list

Otherwise, I suspect you may be missing some depedencies, which you can find with:

rvm requirements

You'll need to install those and the run the install again.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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 5

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.

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!
