After restarting all i see is a black interface asking me to login. After I do so, it won't boot to my desktop but rather remain on the black interface like a terminal. I searched for solutions online and tried installing "tasksel" ( sudo apt-get install tasksel )but it fails and says "Temporary failure resolving 'gh.archive.ubuntu.com' " "E: Failed to fetch gh.archive.ubuntu.com" and "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --Fix-missing?"

Does the virtual machine have enough memory and graphics memory allocated to it? – Archisman Panigrahi Aug 15 '21 at 05:21

1You said you're using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS; is this perhaps a server install? (it has no GUI/desktop). You've tagged lubuntu, but make no other mention of it. Temporary failures are as the message says; usually *temporary* which can be a problem on your LAN, or between you and the Canonical server; trying again usually helps; though if problems exist in your sources - we cannot read the messages (being limited to only what you provide), so I'd read them all yourself looking for other issues. – guiverc Aug 15 '21 at 05:45

Yes - the server install has no GUI with it. If you manage to setup the network you can install it using: "apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop" – tombert Aug 16 '21 at 14:59
