So I setup a VM on my desktop PC to test stuff before I do it on my actual installation on my laptop. I have Ubuntu minimal with the Xubuntu minimal install. I wan't to test the KDE desktop and I'm using this command sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop to install it but it can't locate the package?

The right command is

sudo apt-get install kde-core

If you want KDE + all the softwares that goes with it ( like Konqueror ) use

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

Let me know if it worked.

The first command no longer works since Kubuntu 9.10 release

Maybe this can help Help installing kubuntu-desktop on Ubuntu 16.04

just avoid recommended packages, the resulting list is mostly lib* packages with very few apps.

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends kubuntu-desktop
