    I followed the instructions to download in Ubuntu,

    and got this: "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/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."

    What is going on?

    ppa download fails on Ubuntu 17.04 also:
    E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/ubuntu zesty Release' does not have a Release file.
    I've downloaded the binary directly, but either the ppa needs to be updated or the related instructions removed.

    The ppa for tuxboot for ubuntu has not been updated since bionic. It caused me quite a lot of difficulty getting the download. It would be helpful to others to know that this ppa will not work on things later than bionic.

    Here's a quick install instruction: you will probably want the dependency libc6-i386.
    I couldn't find it in Discovery (lubuntu's Software Center equivaland), so I got it at

    https://pkgs.org/download/libc6-i386

    pick your distro and download.

    Install it with:

    sudo apt install {file location}/libc6-i386_2.30-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

    Otherwise, it may ask to install the dependency libc6-i386, not find it, and fail.

    Download the 64 bit version of tuxboot at:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxboot/files/0.8/Linux/debian-amd64/tuxboot_0.8debian1_amd64.deb/download

    Then install the downloaded x64 tuxboot with:

    sudo apt install {file location}/tuxboot_0.8debian1_amd64.deb

    Why a 64 bit program should need this 32 bit library is a bit beyond me.

    This worked with Lubuntu 19.04 (Eoan Ermine)

    Thank you very much for sharing this. We have very limited manpower so your contribution is really appreciated.
