Hi Punnareddy Jilugu, I think I had an issue with RVM on my new Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I think I just tried using rbenv instead. I installed usign the following commands on the terminal:

sudo apt install autoconf bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm-dev
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
type rbenv
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build

And finally you can install the version you need for example ruby 3.0.7

rbenv install -l
rbenv install 3.0.7
rbenv global 3.0.7
ruby -v

I hope this can be helpful to you! I would also appreciate if someone could tell us if my solution has some drawback.
