workstation_setup issues

going through https://ubiquityrobotics.github.io/learn/workstation_setup I ran across a few issues that may need your attention

On my ubuntu (on windows) environment, I tried to sudo apt install ros-kinetic-magni-robot It is not successful, and it may be a problem in my environment, but tracking backwards, I do see

E: Package 'ros-kinetic-fiducial-detect' has no installation candidate

I'll append the entire shell at the end of this ticket, but all the other messages may be a problem in my environment.

Issue 2: export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://NEWHOSTNAME.local:11311 You might as well use ubiquityrobot here too, since you do elsewhere.

Trivial issue 3: There's a stray backtick that affects markdown formatting Look for.... perform the update there:

sudo apt install ros-kinetic-magni-robot Note the backtick before sudo

As threatened;), here's the terminal output in ubuntu-on-windows
