Add the Bitcoin Ubuntu PPA repository in your Ubuntu

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

Update package lists

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Install bitcoin-qt

Code:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

Just copy and past the code into terminal and you should have the latest version of bitcoin-qt.

If you prefer not to use a PPA you can download the latest linux client from here:http://bitcoin.org/en/download. Just decompress the .tgz file and you've got the latest version of bitcoin-qt.

Hope the OP comes back to the thread to see this. I doubt he found the solution on his own.

I meant the bitcoin client

There were a few "install scripts" floating around a couple of weeks ago, just a few lines of unix.

Or from bitcoin.org:

-----------
How to Upgrade
--------------

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait
until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older
versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over
/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
