I think you might need to distro upgrade your ubuntu. You are still using precise.

Yes that's the LTS version IIRC. I wasn't planning on upgrading until then next LTS version due to be released in the new year.

I think you should upgrade to the newer version, then try again. Maybe that PPA doesn't support older version Ubuntu.

Have you tried this, it worked for me.

Code:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:k-dg/protoshares
sudo apt-get update

Code:

Thanks, I managed to compile the source, but where is the wallet?
I can't find protoshares-qt anywhere.
