I'm using 18.04 ubuntu, but the qemu-kvm installed is very old (2.1) Is there a ppa with the last version 4.2.0?
-
Yes, it is old but it fits with the other parts of Ubuntu 18.04. version 4 is available in Ubuntu 19.10. So move to 19.10. I couldn't find a version 4 ppa for 18.04 at launchpad. Why do you want version 4? Doesn't what you have work?– DK BoseDec 27, 2019 at 14:27

2Does this answer your question? Why don't the Ubuntu repositories have the latest versions of software?– user535733Dec 27, 2019 at 17:20

Qemu-kvm can be found on the download page on their website. They provide instructions for a tar ball download:
cd ~/Downloads/
wget https://download.qemu.org/qemu-4.2.0.tar.xz
tar xvJf qemu-4.2.0.tar.xz
cd qemu-4.2.0
./configure
make
There is no PPA for 4.2. According to pkgs.org there is
Upgrade to 19.10 if you want the latest version using Ubuntu's installation method. Or get used to installing from source. 2.1 IS the one made for 18.04.

In addition to what Rinzwind said wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/CloudArchive will have backports of those for the latest LTS. Ubuntu 20.04 will most likely contain 4.2 and then the CloudArchive will have a backport of it for 18.04. Jan 6, 2020 at 7:26
https://software.opensuse.org/package/qemu
There is a community build for Ubuntu 18.04 and other distributions

I can't find deb package on the given link. There are only RPM packages.– KulfyMar 30, 2020 at 15:44

1Yes, that's a bit unobviouse site. Click "Show for other distribution" in bottom left. And there will be community build for Ubuntu 18.04. Actually you need link software.opensuse.org/download/… from there You need to uninstall your official version before install this Apr 1, 2020 at 7:14
