You used the correct sudo command. The message you got just means that tlmgr is not on the path of the sudo user, even though it is on your own path. This is an issue with Ubuntu, if I remember correctly, and with the way Ubuntu manages security precautions with sudo. There is a (not very recent) discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257616/sudo-changes-path-why. But as a quick hack: call tlmgr with the full path in front: $>sudo /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/tlmgr --gui it should work.
