18.04 - Accidentally removed gnome from bionic beaver - ubuntu-desktop doesnt install

Hi guys I accidentally did an autoremove and somehow my gnome desktop was completely wiped out leaving me with just the shell access to my ubuntu 18.04 - I'm trying to reinstall the ubuntu desktop but it doesn't work and keeps giving me an error.

I've tried using taskel - just about anything but it gives the same error. I've managed to install kubuntu-desktop using the same command but whats wrong here. I really would want to get my original desktop back. Please help.
