Short answer: the package-not-found message means Apt cannot see the build you tried to install (missing repo, outdated package lists, or the package simply has no Precise build). already noted the rotated-Unity project did not have an official Precise package and libnux’s naming changed between releases, so the names you attempted will not be present in a default 12.04 setup.

Quick checks to run locally (these do not re-run the install you used):

sudo apt-get update
apt-cache policy unityshell-rotated
apt-cache search libnux
ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d

If apt-cache policy shows no candidate, either the repository providing that package was not added, the PPA has no Precise build, or the package name differs for 12.04. If you added a PPA, confirm its file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d includes “precise” and run the update step again.

Practical alternatives and safety notes: avoid forcing packages compiled for other Ubuntu releases (that breaks core deps such as libnux). If moving the launcher to the bottom is the goal, the usual 12.04 workaround is to enable Unity’s autohide and use a bottom dock (Plank or Docky) as the visible launcher. Example install:

sudo apt-get install plank

Then add plank to Startup Applications and enable Unity autohide in System Settings → Appearance → Behavior so the dock sits at the bottom without conflict.

If an integrated, rotated-Unity solution is required, only use a PPA that explicitly provides a Precise build or test on a VM; otherwise consider upgrading or switching to a DE/dock that natively supports bottom placement.
