In reply to Nathy. Try connecting with an ethernet cord to do the desktop install.

I just checked and the package is definitely available. Connection failed sounds like a network error. You can try a manual update again:

sudo apt update

Or try to download the package where you get the error for and copy it manually to /var/cache/apt/archives

Hi,
May I ask a question that I encountered?
My Raspberry Pi is “3B+”. When I followed your steps to install a desktop environment, it always gave me this error:
“Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/universe/b/breeze-icons/breeze-icon-theme_5.68.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb” Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.150 80]”
I’ve tried these two:
sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop
sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop
How can I solve it?
Thanks so much
