I'm trying to install the Ubuntu QML toolkit. I've installed Qt5 successfully, but I'm failing on the QML toolkit.

Below is the error information:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ui-toolkit/ppa/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ui-toolkit/ppa/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I'd appreciate some help on this as I really want to join Ubuntu Mobile.

If you are on Ubuntu 12.04 I had the same problem and followed the instructions here:

http://dragly.org/2013/01/03/getting-started-with-ubuntu-for-phones-on-12-04/comment-page-1/#comment-5821

The issue is they only have packages for Quantal and not Precise so this fix works as well while still getting updates.

Replace precise with your version of ubuntu.:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ui-toolkit/ppa
sudo sed -i 's/precise/quantal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ui-toolkit-ppa-precise.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qt-components-ubuntu qt-components-ubuntu-demos qt-components-ubuntu-examples qt-components-ubuntu-doc notepad-qml

Basically you can download the packages directly meant for 12.10 and use them on 12.04

People were having errors with the solution, because of the curly quotes in the sed command. Fixed in rev.3. – gertvdijk Jan 6 at 18:19

manually install each deb from launchpad https://launchpad.net/~ui-toolkit/+archive/ppa for the UI toolkit (things you need)

The issue is they only have packages for Quantal and not Precise.

Replace precise with your version of ubuntu. This will work without installing with dpkg so you will receive updates:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ui-toolkit/ppa sudo sed -i 's/precise/quantal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ui-toolkit-ppa-precise.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qt-components-ubuntu qt-components-ubuntu-demos qt-components-ubuntu-examples qt-components-ubuntu-doc notepad-qml

Failed to execute this command. The right command is this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ui-toolkit/ppa && sudo sed -i 's/precise/quantal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ui-toolkit-ppa-precise.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qt-components-ubuntu qt-components-ubuntu-demos qt-components-ubuntu-examples qt-components-ubuntu-doc notepad-qml
