Here are the steps on how to install GUI Desktop on AWS EC2 Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish and 20.4 LTS.
You can connect via vncviewer or xrdp using a remote desktop.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install tasksel
tasksel --list-tasks
tasksel

#NOTE: if you don't want to use the desktop environment in tasksel, you can install other versions like below.
#Lubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
#ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
#Lubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

sudo apt install slim
sudo apt install tigervnc-standalone-server

#Start up vnc session for vn viewer
vncserver -localhost no

#download tigervnc viewer

#install the xrdp Griffon script

Thank you very much for the video!! I created another user and tried logging in, it is just duplicating the session of root user to the new user. Can you please tell me how can we have independent sessions for both the users? Thanks in advance!

Why do I have to re-run the code every time I restart? "vncserver -localhost no"

nice video, can you compare between others platform destop? which one should i use on oracle ubuntu for the best smooth?

[BenedickMiller]

thank you for this helpful video. I had an issue when attempting
vncserver -localhost no
I got an error, and the vncserver session did not start.
running
vncserver
no error bit I could not connect with TigerVNC Viewer: connection refused.
I fixed this by editing

adding:
$localhost = "no"

Now I can connect :)

Note if you are on MacOS you can install TigerVNC Viewer with Brew:
brew install --cask tigervnc-viewer

Thank you! My first ubuntu server and gui =) But wdo i have to run "vncserver -localhost no" everytime i want to start gui or do i only need to connect with remote desktop? And who do i not see the script or files in downloads for example in the gui? it is empty :P
Thanks again!

just to clarify i do the tasksel and then ill click lxqt? im trying to understand how to use lubuntu environment instead of the taskel

[freenrg]

Do you really need bot VNC server and XRDP?
They seem to provide a very similar functionality...

[ammartaha]

not working it look like Xrdp service didn't run
