Hi,

the 2.0 candidate is currently only in ppa:ubuntu-virt/candidate. You
can install it on a 14.04 host using:

sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-virt/candidate
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm

Now you can use libvirt, virt-manager, and uvtool to manage VMs if you like
(see https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/libvirt.html and
https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/cloud-images-and-uvtool.html),
or you can use kvm by hand (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Directly)

thanks,
