Ubuntu Focal Server with Desktop

gb flag

I used a Focal Server Image and then installed:

apt-get install --yes --no-install-recommends ubuntu-unity-desktop ttf-ubuntu-font-family gnome-shell-extensions

but the desktop still looks different to the original desktop from the desktop version. I then tried several packages like gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons but without success.

Does someone know what exactly needs to be done to get the same icons and possibly settings?

Left Server Version, Right Desktop Installer Version:

Desktop from Server Installer Desktop from Desktop Installer

Looks like you're missing the Yaru theme. You may be able to get the look somewhat close to the stock desktop with:

sudo apt install yaru-theme-unity yaru-theme-gtk yaru-theme-icon yaru-theme-sound

There are a number of Yaru theme packages available, and you can find them in apt like this:

sudo apt search yaru

This will give you something like:

yaru-theme-gnome-shell/focal-updates,focal-updates,now 20.04.11.1 all [installed,automatic]
  Yaru GNOME Shell desktop theme from the Ubuntu Community

yaru-theme-gtk/focal-updates,focal-updates,now 20.04.11.1 all [installed,automatic]
  Yaru GTK theme from the Ubuntu Community

yaru-theme-icon/focal-updates,focal-updates,now 20.04.11.1 all [installed,automatic]
  Yaru icon theme from the Ubuntu Community

yaru-theme-sound/focal-updates,focal-updates,now 20.04.11.1 all [installed,automatic]
  Yaru sound theme from the Ubuntu Community

yaru-theme-unity/focal-updates,focal-updates 20.04.11.1 all
  Yaru Unity theme from the Ubuntu Community

Note: The above output comes from a 20.04 LTS Desktop installation. As you've installed the Unity theme, the first apt command in this answer replaces yaru-theme-gnome-shell with yaru-theme-unity.

Thank you very much! First I installed the wrong package - it should be the ubuntu-gnome-desktop, then the yaru-theme-icon package did the trick.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
