QEMU not installing

kr flag

So I wanted to install QEMU on my Windows laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 using:

sudo apt-get install qemu-system-i86 -y

and I got this error.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package qemu-system-i86

I tried lots of different versions such as qemu, qemu-system, qemu-system-x86_64 and guess what? NONE OF THEM WORKED So, how can I fix this? (btw im running wsl) I've tried using apt policy qemu-system-* but it dosen't work.

`apt policy qemu-system-*` will give you all known packages starting with `qemu-system`.

The qemu-system-i86 isn't available in apt.

Please try and install qemu-system

I tried but, it didn't work. `Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package qemu-system is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'qemu-system' has no installation candidate`

Please try a `apt update`. If this doesn't help, please post result from `apt policy qemu-system-*` as mentioned by @Jos

It would likely help your audience if you could provide complete syntax for the installation commands: apt update && apt install qemu-system-common

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
