Hi a forum noob here,
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on Thinkpad S440. I was trying to install a third party software (ViSiT, to visualise simulations), I installed dependencies. but some packages were broken and sudo apt-get autoremove removed libreoffice, unity, ubuntu-desktop and a lot of other packages. Now when I try to boot it is stuck at the loading screen (before the username and password page). I have set up chroot to try to get the installation working again. Since then If I try to install ubuntu-desktop I am not able to. I even tried to install ubunu-gnome or ubuntu-kde but nothing works. The output of
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop unity nautilus is presented here.

Cheers,

14.04 is over and done.
Support for it ended.
The packages have been removed/moved from the archives.
Please install a supported release such as 16.04 or 18.04.
Anything that can run 14.04 can run 16.04.
