Answer 1

As noted in the Virtuoso documentation notes for Ubuntu deployment --

Ubuntu have split some of the Virtuoso VAD packages into separate apt packages of their own. When you apt-get install these, all you get is the VAD package on disk ready to be installed into your database; Ubuntu does not install the VAD into any running instance for you (because by this time you might have created your own instances elsewhere on different ports).

That being the case, I would suggest you simply download the VAD packages directly from our download site. You didn't not indicate which version of Virtuoso is being installed, and Ubuntu packaging has historically been some months or even years behind our updates. Guessing you're working with Virtuoso 7.2, please start here. Please comment below if you need the VADs for a different version of Virtuoso (7.1, 6.x, 8.x, etc.).

For further assistance with Virtuoso Open Source (VOS), I strongly recommend the Virtuoso Users mailing list.
