I'm trying to install the GNOME Desktop on Lubuntu, I did all the steps, but it always takes me here:

apt-get install output

I'm confused.

I need help getting it.

    Silly question, but why not replace Lubuntu with stock Ubuntu? This would give you what you need, though it would require that you re-download your software and restore a backup of your important files ... –  Mar 09 '21 at 14:46
  • The gnome-shell package is only one piece of the Gnome desktop. It's unclear what "all the steps" you followed are. A link to those steps would be rather helpful so we can understand what you did. – user535733 Mar 09 '21 at 15:07

Start by installing the desktop with:

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop

Insert your password and press Y when asked. That'll take a few minutes When you're done, reboot your computer.

At the login screen, look up at the top where it says 'Session' and use that drop down menu to select the newly installed Ubuntu desktop. It will look similar to this, though probably at a different resolution. (I did this in VirtualBox.)

Pick Ubuntu

Then, enter your password and login. It should look like this:

See? It works.
