When I run these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

I get this:

E: Unable to locate package bitcoin-qt.

I am writing it completely correctly; is the PPA not updated for 14.04? Why can't I install the program?

Even if I write apt-cache search bitcoin it doesn't show up.
I'm on Lubuntu 14.04 fresh installation.

Simply put: that repository doesn't contain bitcoin-qt.

I think the default client for Linux is the QT client so you just need:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin

Additionally, the 32bit version of this is currently failing to build. Talk to to repo maintainer to get an idea of the problem.
