I am new to ubuntu and this is my first question in stackExchange. I am sorry, if I am unclear to you. This is the file that I downloaded https://ubuntu-releases.hbcse.tifr.res.in/ubuntu-releases/23.04/ubuntu-23.04-desktop-amd64.iso from this website https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop

What does "Linux Server" mean? Ubuntu Server? Or something else? Since Ubuntu Server does not include a desktop environment (windowing capability), it's unclear what you are looking at, and display failure might be the expected result.

Yes, I am booting this on a remote server using mobaXterm platform. Can you please provide any resolution? How can I resolve the display failure error? When I run the same commands on windows it is working perfectly fine and ubuntu is booted,but it gives errors on Linux. Thanks in advance.

Please don't add new information in comments. Edit your original question instead. There can be no "resolution" until we understand the problem. Comments are intended to help you improve your question until it is understandable and answerable. Comments are not intended for conversation.

What does "remote server" mean? What release of Ubuntu is it? Or is it some other Linux release? Or something else? How do you know that your remote server has the capability of running the Ubuntu Desktop installer at all? Remember to explain this information in your question above, not a comment.

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.
