In reply to Praneeth.

@Praneeth,

You can install a GUI on your Ubuntu desktop by installing a desktop environment like GNOME, KDE, or XFCE.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop     [GNOME]
sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop    [XFCE]
sudo reboot

After rebooting, you should see the GUI. If it still doesn’t work, let me know the error or issue you’re facing!

I wanted to install a GUI on my CLI-only Ubuntu desktop, but it didn’t work. How can I do it?

I have two 3GB and 16 GB thumb drives without an external write-protect switch. Both of them have been locked with an internal command or script by Ubuntu 20.04 and Zorin 16 pro QS. I used Rufus 15.0 to write the contents of both ISO images to each thumb drive per OS.

After installation of the separate OS Ubuntu and Zorin on my SSD and HDD drives, I wanted to remove the files from both thumb drives but couldn’t because the thumb drives became write-protected by Ubuntu and Zorin after I used them to install both OS’s.

I can’t format or remove the partition from each thumb drive using Windows Disk Manager or a third-party partitioning program called Macrorit Pro. I get I/O error messages or “Cannot write to the device it is write protected” How can I remove this write protect using the Linux terminal command using Kubuntu 21.04 or terminal ubuntu 22.04? Is there a sudo command to use?
