Install on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS fails

[tiberium-v]

@alwindoss give it some time. The version of ubuntu is fresh out. It takes a little time, that the devs can publish a version for it on the PPA.

Add the obsproject/obs-studio repository. Ignore the 404 error.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio

Change from noble (24.04) to manic (23.10).

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obsproject-ubuntu-obs-studio-noble.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obsproject-ubuntu-obs-studio-mantic.sources
sudo sed --in-place --expression='/^Suites:/c\Suites: mantic' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obsproject-ubuntu-obs-studio-mantic.sources
sudo apt-get update

Manually download and install the required dependencies.

wget --quiet --directory-prefix=/tmp https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libpython3.11-minimal_3.11.6-3_amd64.deb && \
sudo dpkg --install /tmp/libpython3.11-minimal_3.11.6-3_amd64.deb && \
wget --quiet --directory-prefix=/tmp https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libpython3.11-stdlib_3.11.6-3_amd64.deb && \
sudo dpkg --install /tmp/libpython3.11-stdlib_3.11.6-3_amd64.deb && \
wget --quiet --directory-prefix=/tmp https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libpython3.11_3.11.6-3_amd64.deb && \
sudo dpkg --install /tmp/libpython3.11_3.11.6-3_amd64.deb

Install OBS-Studio

sudo apt-get --yes install obs-studio

The PPA does not actually provide package for 24.04 for now, which is not a bug.

[alwindoss]

@tytan652 So what should be done forbit to be supported. Ubuntu 24.04 is an LTS version.

[alwindoss]

Thank you for clarifying @tiberium-v

possible manual (and not recommended) workaround for installing obs anyways:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obsproject-ubuntu-obs-studio-noble.sources

edit the line where it says Suites: noble to be Suites: jammy, then save the file and do sudo apt update. now Ubuntu 24.04 should eat the repository anyways. You might need to add the jammy sources for the dependencies manually aswell, i did it via editing
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources
and added both default existing entries at the bottom of the file again by basically copy pasing them but replaced all "noble" in it with "jammy".

I dont recommend doing so, because it means using a release not designed for the platform, aswell as using a different update path. Also please dont use sudo commands or edit files if you don't know what you are doing c:

Have a nice day anyways!

This strategy worked for me. I did need to sudo apt install --fix-broken before the libpython3 packages would install correctly.
