    Lots of Xprograms missing?

    So... im trying to install desktop software that i plan on using Via X-Fowarding via ssh on my ubuntu server, (18.04) but it keeps giving errors like this
    Code:
    bunny@code_merith:~$ sudo apt install xtermReading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    Package xterm is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    
    
    E: Package 'xterm' has no installation candidate
    bunny@code_merith:~$

    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/xterm

    If that package doesn't exist, check that the package list us updated and that package repos are available.
    I haven't tested 18.04 and don't have an install, but that is what I'd do under the same situation. It does appear that "xterm" is the correct package name, at least to me.

    I have checked that, it appears to have gnome-terminal insalled already, but when i run it, absolutely nothing happens. I have tested to see if my x-server on my laptop works (it does) but its not doing anything
