trying to: <apt install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop error> too many packages that are not installable.

[ifishtoo]

Got 24.04 installed and running from sd card on the bpi-r2 pro. I have internet. The resizepart 2 %100 worked out fine after I stumbled around for a while.

This is my first time installing Ubuntu on an arm system. I may have missed some important reading somewhere.
I have been using linux for decades. I am probably missing something somewhat obvious. I am rather excited about this repository because I hope to run android in a container so I can setup tinycam as a server. I will need openwrt in another container as well as tailscale, vnc-server and a few other utilities to run on ubuntu. 22.04 might be more mature for my application but the latest kernel opens up possibilities regarding optional network adapters.

Maybe you're missing some apt repositories or forgot to do apt update.
