unminimize

➜  ~ unminimize
This system has been minimized by removing packages and content that are
not required on a system that users do not log into.

This script restores content and packages that are found on a default
Ubuntu server system in order to make this system more suitable for
interactive use.

Reinstallation of packages may fail due to changes to the system
configuration, the presence of third-party packages, or for other
reasons.

This operation may take some time.
