I have tried to install dolphin emulator using ppa.

I added the ppa, updated then I tried to install using sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu. It said that the package was not found.

I am using ubuntu 14.04.

I just received the same error, while trying to reproduce the error you experienced.

You need to do sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu-master by the look of my error. It allowed me to start to install (i.e. it found the package), although I did cancel it.

Was this what you got?

tim@Hairy14:~$ sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package dolphin-emu is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  dolphin-emu-master

E: Package 'dolphin-emu' has no installation candidate

NB: I used this site to get the PPA details, the same PPA as you.

  • The PPA's launchpad site is here - you can also download the deb file from the Dolphin Emulator site here, and you can then install that.

Take a look at Dolphins website - at this time their downloads only support up to Ubuntu 13.10. There are some alternate PPAs that apparently support Ubuntu 14.04, and a google search will find those for you.

  • I googled "dolphin emulator ubuntu 14.04" and got several hits. The one I would put most credence in is on launchpad, who indicate that the PPA source is "untrusted" Jun 14, 2014 at 21:01

I thought that is because dolphin-emu doesnt support 32 bit anymore. so if you are using ubuntu trusty 32 bit, you cant download the packages via ppa because the 32 bit version is not being developed anymore so no exist either for future ubuntu 32 bit.

Ubuntu 17.04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu-master
dolphin-emu

The PPA with the -master packaged is needed in 17.04 to overcome this bug: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/9853
