Azure – Connecting Azure Ubuntu virtual machine from Windows – resolving error – “E: unable to locate package xfce4”

Hi All,
Greetings for the day 🙂 LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL 🙂
Today new issue and solution 🙂
Background :
I was preparing demo for my Docker / Containers session. For this purpose in my Azure trial I have created UBUNTU / Linux box. I need to connect my Ubuntu box using RDP. To connect Ubuntu box using RDP we need to perform several steps, we have detailed article here – Connecting Linux VM hosted in Azure from Windows 10 using RDP
One of the step is install xfce4 – Desktop Virtual Environment. We need to install xfce4 using SSH with following command as
sudo apt-get -y install xfce4
While executing above command we were getting an error
Error :
E: unable to locate package xfce4″
Detailed error :
Reading package list… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: unable to locate package xfce4″
Solution :
We need to enable universe repository, need to execute following commands
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt update
once we executed following commands successfully we are able to install the package xfce4 🙂
Thanks for reading 🙂 HAVE A GREAT TIME AHEAD 🙂
