I might add that you mentioned you're on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS which is many months past end of standard support. You really should be on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS which has standard support until June 2027. If this is a standalone system or a throwaway test system, I'd recommend flattening it to a current os before you get too invested in other things running on it which would make a flatten+reload more involved.
