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?

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.

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.

    Yes, 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

  • Hmm, I'm not sure it works all that well. I just installed and I see QEMU version now is 2.11.1. For reference, latest QEMU is 6.1.0
