Hi,

I just started using tails and I don't know if this is the appropiate
list to talk about de documentation (if not, please tell me which one
is and I'll redirect my mail there).

The instructions for installing virt-manager
(https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/virtualization/virt-manager/index.en.html)
say that you must:
sudo apt-get install virt-manager libvirt-daemon-system
for Debian or Ubuntu.

However, there is no libvirt-daemon-system package in Ubuntu (at least
not in 14.04). It seems that the Ubuntu guys package libvirt
differently from Debian.

In Ubuntu 14.04, the package that seems to cover what is needed is
ubuntu-virt-server (at least it worked for me). So in ubuntu you should:
sudo apt-get install virt-manager ubuntu-virt-server

It will also bring openssh-server... if that is a problem, then you
should:
sudo apt-get install virt-manager libvirt-bin qemu-kvm

HTH
