Not about Tails, this message, but yes it is about GUI-less (non-dbus) virt-manager.
About its use for installing and running a Tails' relative: Whonix. I made a well-accepted, I believe, push for Whonix to be installable and runnable (actually it maybe already is!) in sans-dbus systems. Pls. if anybody feels passionate enough about Unix heredity staying sound and prosperous, and you feel you can contribute by helping in this thread: Whonix on Gentoo issues https://forums.whonix.org/t/whonix-on-gentoo-issues/3188 then pls. do contribute! There is a poor-eyesight old man that I am useless digression somewhere in one of the first three posts (which I can't remove anymore, old posts are not editable in Whonix forums), and also previous to below all attempts of mine were unsuccessful, so... So maybe if you start from: https://forums.whonix.org/t/whonix-on-gentoo-issues/3188/7 [from] post 7, you will be sufficiently in the clear what the issue is. And on a sidenote on this thread that you're reading. I probably need to re-evaluate the current status of no-dbus virt-manager using virt-viewer as GUI, with the last night update of Gentoo installtion of mine (always such a pleasure). Pls. contribute if you are familiar with Whonix and the issues there! I've top posted this, because it regards the entire thread, not this particular email below.
