The packages are in the universe repo for 13.04; add those and all will be fine.
We can't have instructions up for every version of Ubuntu since packages get renamed and moved around.

Please supply your apt sources file.
FYI I'm using a clean install of Ubuntu. (In fact, it even boots up clean every time, from a CD.)
So I will get it booted up and paste the sources, but FYI they will be the same as whatever you would normally find in a clean install.
Maybe activate some of the extra repositories that come off by default, like Universe(?).
Maybe add that to the instructions?
Seems the instructions do not work "out of the box" without that missing step?
Please supply your apt sources file.

Well I was using clean installs of Knoppix and Ubuntu 13.04
What am I missing?
If you want to provide step-by-step instructions, I'd be happy to install from scratch (again) and then give you the output wherever it diverges from your instructions.
Anyway, if it's happening to me, it will happen to others. Perhaps the instructions should be updated to just download Electrum.tgz and use the existing binary, which is what I ended up having to do. That way no one else will run into this problem.

I tried it with Knoppix and Ubuntu 13.04
apt-get install python-pip <=== not found.
Then I searched for easy_install per the instructions using Ubuntu package manager. Result? No results found.
I did apt-get update etc.

My Ubuntu 13.04 has python-pip. It's clearly a problem with your setup.

Python-pip is available in all ubuntu's including 13.04.
I have no clue why it's not working for you.

I believe I was using ubuntu 13, not 12.
It's fine by me if python-pip doesn't come installed, but apt-get install python-pip should at least work.
I also tried searching for easy_install and nothing was found.
I have the technical ability to eventually download it and install it one way or the other, but my concern is for other users, not myself.
Also let's keep in mind that certain users have to install EVERY TIME they usb-boot...

By default, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS doesn’t come with pip installed.

I think same thing is with knoppix, it doesn't comes with pip installed.

sudo apt-get install python-pip <=== doesn't work on knoppix or Ubuntu.
I tried apt-get upgrade etc but was completely unable to install pip.
Finally I just downloaded the source code.
Please remove pip from the instructions, it's just going to confuse people.
