I'm a RHEL admin but I've been given a task to test around with ubuntu server 20.04 and try to make sure it can do everything RHEL can.

I'm installing ubuntu server 20.04 on a VM, the Legacy ISO because these hosts cannot have access to the internet. I tried mounting the ubuntu desktop ISO with the apt=cdrom utility, but when i look in the pool directory of the ISO I cant find anything regarding gnome to install even though I know ubuntu-desktop comes with gnome. Do you guys have any pointers? all guides are pointing me to things that involve internet access and I cannot see the options for ubuntu-desktop with tasksel.

Very Respectfully, your confused brother in Linux

If you want a Gnome shell, that kind of means having a GUI front end. Ubuntu Server doesn't come with that. You can add it, as @Mlocik97 suggests. However, you are better to download a desktop version of Ubuntu and install that.

The server version of Ubuntu is supposed to be a command line front end. However, most of what you know and love on RHEL will work here. So if you are comfortable with those, press on.

It's not part of ISO, but you can install it via APT, just install gnome-shell and ubuntu-desktop
