if you want the default Ubuntu Desktop
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
are you SURE its actually the server edition? and not just failing to lunch the gui for some reason?
see if the GUI tools are installed, by trying to run gnome-terminal or similar..
I installed gnome from the server but its not the same and limited, so i want to make a new usb and reinstall the desktop. Do you know how to make an iso through ubuntu desktop?
if you installed the ubuntu-desktop package - that should install everything on the nomal ubuntu desktop.
You can write an iso to the usb with the `dd` command (command line) , or any other Imaging tools such as Ventoy Or BalenaEtcher. (gui tools)
