How to install full ubuntu-desktop after installing with the minimal option?

772

I'm investigating what I will need on new computers I will set up. For this purpose I installed Ubuntu with the minimal option in a VM. I found that ubuntu-desktop-minimal and ubuntu-desktop are installed. Which brings up the question: How do I install the full desktop and could I revert this action?

Both meta packages are built from ubuntu-meta, so I downloaded it and compared some of the contained files:

I guess this is the list of packages that differs from minimal to full desktop?

I tried sudo apt install --install-recommends ubuntu-desktop but that had no effect.
