before doing that you may need to restart your router somehow I couldn't update and make sure your firewall is disabled.
I got around of it making uBuntu server and then upgrate, then installing desktop separately.
I personally like kde.
sudo apt install xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install task-lxde-desktop /** sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment-core ***/
sudo apt install lightdm
sudo apt install lightdm-gtk-greeter
