So I was starting my VM, booted up Ubuntu, but the problem is, it didn't start the GUI. It just shows a command-line. Can you please tell me how to install LXDE or any other desktop environment?

You can install a desktop environment by running the commands below (you will need to be connected to the internet for them to work): sudo apt install tasksel sudo tasksel

On the screen that appears, use the arrow keys and the space bar to select your desired desktop environment (PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OPTIONS ARE NON-DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT PACKAGES), then press the tab key and the enter key to begin the installation of your desired desktop environment.
