How to install a version of qemu and libvirt that doesn't come with apt-get
I need to install QEMU 2.5.0 and libvirt 1.3.3 to get around Nvidia driver issues (Code 43) when doing GPU passthrough on a windows VM. See first article under troubleshooting in src for details.
I've installed KVM using sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm qemu-utils qemu-efi ovmf libvirt-bin libvirt-de, they this gives me older versions.
With virsh the version command prints out:
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using API: QEMU 1.3.1
Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.5.0
I've fairly new to Ubuntu, so could someone explain how I upgrade or install QEMU 2.5.0 and libvirt 1.3.3 (or a later version)?

Maybe try a PPA like launchpad.net/~jacob/+archive/ubuntu/virtualisation, also see askubuntu.com/questions/4983/…

It's probably not an issue related to the version you have/had. There's a few changes to your VM's config (xml file) you have to make to workaround nvidia's deliberate attempt to brick VM functionality on their mainstream/non workstation cards. Make sure there's no virtual display attached to the VM with the virt-manager tool, then
Shut down your vm and virt manager
Open up a command prompt and type:
sudo virsh edit vmnamehere
Replace the very first line with:
<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
(You can find the code here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HtXhxTTvjS/)
Scroll to the very end of the config file and right before
</domain>, insert:
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-cpu'/>
<qemu:arg value='host,hv_time,kvm=off,hv_vendor,hv_vendor_id=null'/>
</qemu:commandline>
(You can find the code here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HtXhxTTvjS/)
Save + exit whatever editor you used
Restart the virt-manager application
This works for me every time. Hope you didn't give up on this, as I see this is an old post. A good way to see if you're doing things right is to try GPU passthrough on an OS that will for sure work, like a Linux / Ubuntu / Debian VM.
