There are special Ubuntu Base images available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/20.04/release/ .
You can try to use it directly. Or use for diff'ing using QEMU on probably amd64 system:
sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static
cd ~/Downloads
wget -c http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/20.04/release/ubuntu-base-20.04.3-base-arm64.tar.gz
mkdir ubuntu-arm64
tar -xpf ubuntu-base-20.04.3-base-arm64.tar.gz -C ubuntu-arm64
sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static ubuntu-arm64/usr/bin
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf ubuntu-arm64/etc
# time to chroot
sudo chroot ubuntu-arm64
dpkg -l | grep ^ii | wc -l # will return 92 with used image
Cannot find Ubuntu 20.04 ARM64 desktop image
I thought the 20.10 release was the first ubuntu for the pi release that had a version to come with a desktop.
before that you had to do a server install then install the DE.
you might have seen some unofficial builds for earlier ubuntu versions if they came with a DE

Canonical has offered a Raspberry Pi image for Ubuntu Server for some time, and it has been possible to install a desktop, but what has changed is that there is now an official Ubuntu desktop image for Raspberry Pi 4.

More on reddit.comOther versions of Ubuntu have been produced for the popular single-board computer over the years but these have been stripped down, pared back, or GUI-less versions like Ubuntu Core, Ubuntu Server, etc.
Can't find a non-server ARM version for 20.04 Ubuntu

Is ubuntu desktop 22.04 for ARM?
Hey guys,
a few month ago, ubuntu 20.04 arm64 desktop iso was available for download on the ubuntu official website, but it has been removed for some reason... does anybody still have it ?
Yes there are. You can find the installer images for Ubuntu Desktop on arm64 in the daily builds:
Latest: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
24.04 LTS: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/24.04/release/
22.04 LTS: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/22.04/release/
Note that these images are not officially supported. They should be stable, however, and they are created by the Ubuntu project
Installing Ubuntu Desktop for arm64 using Ubuntu Server ISO
At the end of the installation, you will have Ubuntu Server installed without any GUI. To install Ubuntu Desktop, log in and run:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
$ sudo reboot
Hello, I am 100% sure, there used to be Ubuntu 20.04 ARM64 desktop image on official Ubuntu servers, but now its not there.
I have found 64-bit ARM (ARMv8/AArch64) desktop image daily build, I have downloaded it and tried Disks -> Restore image, but Pi says it doesnt see it. Then I tried flash it Etcher and same problem - Pi 4 doesnt see it. Then I tried Raspberry Imager, but it does not support .iso.
My last chance is to install 20.04 server and then download desktop on it.
Does anyone know where can I get the original 20.04 desktop ARM64 image ?
Or maybe I am flashing the ISO wrong way ? Any help appreciated, thanks
Basically the title, would someone be kind enough to lay a hand?
This is my first time downloading Ubuntu, and I’m having some issues with it. I have a MacBook Air 2020, and I don’t know how to install it. I’ve downloaded VirtualBox, but I’m not sure what to do next.
