Should get the expected outcome by using sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop

Then after installing you can install a lightweight display manager using LightDM

  1. sudo apt install lightdm
  2. Select option lightdm then press ok

Tested using UTM 3.2.4, Ubuntu 22.04

Note: apt-get is normally used for older versions of linux < 16.0, use apt when working with modern instances unless you need backwards capability of certain scripts.

The base operating system you chose probably does not support the ubuntu-desktop profile in tasksel. You can see what things are available to install by running:

tasksel --list

More information here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel (task definitions are in the /usr/share/tasksel directory as *.desc files).

I am myself trying to determine why ubuntu-tasks.desc is not available on a machine using an Ubuntu 2022 base disk image.
