KVM installation in Ubuntu

Question

I have tried installing KVM according to the guidelines provided on Ubuntu wiki but when I open Virtual Machine Manager it says that,

'Warning: KVM is not available. This may mean the KVM package is not installed, or the KVM kernel modules are not loaded. Your virtual machines may perform poorly.'

I have hardware virtulization enabled in my BIOS settings. Here, is a output of sudo /usr/sbin/kvm-ok:

INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist HINT: sudo modprobe kvm_intel modprobe: FATAL: Module msr not found.

Also, output of sudo modprobe kvm_intel is as follows:

modprobe: FATAL: Module kvm_intel not found.

Solution 1

It does look like the installation failed.

What's the output of this command?

lsmod | grep kvm

I expect no output. If that so, is it this the guide you followed? What was the output of

sudo apt-get install kvm qemu 

Solution 2

Looks like you don't have it installed:
Fedora:

yum install kvm qemu

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install kvm qemu
