KVM installation in Ubuntu

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.

Install using sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm

You should also check if Virtualization Technology is enabled. To do this, reboot your system, enter BIOS and enable Intel VTT or Intel VT-d from virtualization options. Save and exit.

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

yum install kvm qemu

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install kvm qemu

I was running Ubuntu 14.04 with recent kernel version. But it eventually turned out that KVM works well with Ubuntu kernel only. So I tried using 3.13.0-24-generic which comes by default with Ubuntu 14.04 and this solved my problem. KVM is working fine for me now.

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
