    please provide us with more information. How are you installing it? What commands do you use? etc. Better just copy the complete output from the terminal and add it to your question. – JoKeR Oct 13 '15 at 23:58

  • What are you trying to install, Emily? – Daniel Oct 14 '15 at 00:18
  • The PPA that you linked in your comment does not appear to contain any packages for Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) - only for Utopic/Trusty/Vivid – steeldriver Oct 14 '15 at 00:47
  • I was trying to install... OBS the screen recorder called Open Broadcaster i THINK – Emily Shan Oct 14 '15 at 01:03
  • When I install almost everything it says Unable to locate package – Emily Shan Oct 14 '15 at 01:03
  • You probably need to upgrade to 14.04 LTS if you can. Do you know how to do that? – Daniel Oct 14 '15 at 01:59
  • I do but I can't – Emily Shan Oct 14 '15 at 23:20
  • Please [edit] your question, if you want to add information. Especially file or program output listings (with the help of the {} button in the editor toolbar) are much more readable there and overall it's best to have everything relevant in one place. Also, comments may be deleted for various reasons. – David Foerster Oct 15 '15 at 09:30

The PPA you are using is not available for Ubuntu 12.04.

(From comments:you are using ppa:obsproject/obs-studio)

Please refer here : ubuntu/obs-studio.

On the official site https://obsproject.com/download#linux
you can see that obs is available for 14.04/15.04+ only.

So to install obs you need to upgrade your Ubuntu system.
