Can't install wireshark on ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

I used the steps provided on this answer to get wireshark from ppa, but I get errors of dependencies or something...
STEPS:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wireshark-dev/stable
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install wireshark
ERRORS:
EDIT 1:
I tried to install wireshark-qt but I get the same type of error...
EDIT 2:
I tried solutions from this post, but none seem to help my case.
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
$ sudo apt-get update
apt ppa wireshark

You're trying to install from the Wireshark development PPA. It probably needs resources that are not available on 18.04.1.
Update #1:
There could also be a problem with "Beaver GUI"... I'm not familiar with it. Sounds like GNOME desktop.
This originally started as a server install, and other resources may be missing that are required for Wireshark.
Remove or disable the PPA.
Then checkmark the following Ubuntu repositories... and reload the databases on quit...
Then install Wireshark from Synaptic, the Software Center, or...
In terminal...
sudo apt-get update # update the software databases
sudo apt-get install wireshark # install wireshark

@LoukMo also check your "Beaver GUI".

The "Beaver GUI" I'm referencing to is (I think) the basic one you get from doing this post's commands...sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktopI thought it was called beaver because there's a beaver as default wallpaper... hahah

@LoukMo That's probably GNOME desktop. Was/is your installation originally a server install?

@LoukMo ah... that's why you needed to install ubuntu-desktop. There may be other resources missing in server that are required for Wireshark. Is Wireshark working for you now?
