I am trying to install Ubuntu 23.04 on my M2 Mac using VMware, but I can't get past the sudo command screen when I type in sudo taskel install ubuntu-desktop it keeps demanding I type in a command. I'd appreciate some help in navigating the sudo commands to install Ubuntu 23.04.

You can install the complete ubuntu-desktop task in Ubuntu Server by running the following command:

sudo apt install 'ubuntu-desktop^'

Here are some additional tips for installing an Ubuntu desktop using VMware Fusion 13 player for macOS.

  • Use the Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS ARM64 ISO to install an Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine.
  • After the installation of Ubuntu 22.04 is finished convert the Ubuntu Server using the tasksel program which can be installed by sudo apt install tasksel. Install the Ubuntu desktop task by selecting it with the space key in tasksel and remove every server task that you don't want to keep.
  • Install the open-vm-tools-desktop package in Ubuntu with sudo apt install open-vm-tools-desktop.
  • You may need to disable kernel updates in Ubuntu.
  • You may need to adjust the VM's settings to improve performance, especially the graphics performance which is great in macOS but in Ubuntu YMMV.
