ruby manual installation
Try running sudo apt-get update separately on a command line. Your Ubuntu might be old and its repositories could be out of date. So apt-get update itself is maybe not working in your machine.
To step over that issue, run the following commands:
# Disable RVM from trying to install necessary software via apt-get
rvm autolibs disable
# Then try installing Ruby:
rvm install 1.8.7
If you still face errors, see if you can directly do apt-get install without doing apt-get update (which fails):
# Try to see if you can manually install the necessary software
sudo apt-get install build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison subversion pkg-config
