charles... the command 

sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop

is suppose to install unity with no issues.. according to that guide and youtube video.. and comments from months ago including v17 up to dailies of ubuntu 19 running unity working.. so im going to assume its either.. a simple user error on why its not working.. or its because your using a persistent usb where as the normal user would be using a hard drive and the install just doesn't like your install choice... i don't use ubuntu personally nor do i use unity so im not sure to either.. which could be the issue just showing the video in hopes maybe it helped ..  

xrandr -s 1024x768

Thanks Devi. My problem is that I believe you have to be online to install the unity desktop,  I believe that is why I get the error: no such command?
I'm gonna try again on a laptop. I think part of my problem might be the resolution of my monitor. I can hardly see the icons on the left side of the screen, and t's possible that there is a menu bar on the top of the screen that I'm not seeing because I can't find how to set up wifi with gnome desktop. Nor can I find how to change the resolution of my monitor using the gnome desktop.
So, anybody out there. Do I have to be online before I can install the unity desktop in 18. Thanks, Charles

resolution command line:
xrandr -s 1024x768
just replace with desired resolution

resolution command line:

xrandr -s 1024x768

just replace with desired resolution

wifi command line:

1. Open the terminal.
2. Type ifconfig wlan0 and press Enter. You will not see any output in the terminal, as this command just turns your wireless card on. Most wireless cards are designated wlan0. If yours has a different designation, use that instead.
3. Type iwconfig wlan0 essid name key password and press Enter. Replace name with the actual network name, and replace password with the actual security key for the network. If your wireless network does not require a security key, do not enter key password.
   Note: If you want to type the ASCII password, you would use iwconfig wlan0 essid name key s:password.
4. Type dhclient wlan0 and press Enter to obtain an IP address and connect to the WiFi network.

I would suspect that it says the command does not exist because Ubuntu previously had you use “apt-get”, but recently they have simplified it to “apt install”.
So try this:
sudo apt-get install Ubuntu-unity-desktop

regardless of what command I put in the terminal I get command not found. Is that because I'm running ubuntu on a usb flash and that I was trying to set up as persistent drive?
