Question / Help Apt 404 Error when Updating

014

Member
The Update Manager in Mint 17 tells me that there is an update, but I see the 404 errors below when I try to run the update. The Update Manager says my old version is 0.5.1.2-1 and the new version will be 0.5.1.3-130.


EDIT:
Nevermind. After looking at the source path, I ran an apt-get update and then refreshed the Update Manager. The OBS values changed and everything updated without error.

There does seem to be a problem. I am having the same issue on ubuntu 14.04

Code:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/btbn/obs-studio/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/btbn/obs-studio/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I'm hoping this is simply a transient error.

the developers have stated the PPA is offline for the moment, no ETA on when it will return.

Um, I'm a little wary to post on the mantis tracker, because this isn't exactly an obs bug per se, but this second path can't possibly be right can it

Code:
mischka@mischka-desktop:~$ obs
Attempted path: share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini
Attempted path: /build/buildd/obs-studio-0.6.2/debian/tmp/usr/share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini
error: Failed to load locale
info: Number of memory leaks: 0

The first isn't right either, as the locale is in /usr/share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini, as I assume that's where it should be looking? Is this a ppa-only thing, or should I create an issue on the tracker? I hadn't had this problem on the previous one.

Edit: If I run this from /usr, so it actually finds the locale, it segfaults anyway.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can instead add the unstable PPA: ppa:obsproject/obs-studio-unstable

This is updated with every git commit, whereas the other PPA is updated when things are tagged for release. So you'll net new features and bug fixes right away, but sometimes the build might have other bugs or crashes.
 
that's really awesome you guys added an unstable ppa as i always run from GIT anyway. now I can simply add that ppa and get auto-updates vs having to recompile my portable build everyday before i stream. THANKS!
