As far as the screen saver not accepting your password, that may be due
to this issue:
https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/238
That is a known issue with GNOME and has to do with the fact that GNOME
doesn't fully support multiple sessions. TurboVNC is able to work
around most of the GNOME issues by setting up an independent D-Bus
instance for each TurboVNC session, but there are a few lingering issues
such as this. TigerVNC, by contrast, punts on the issue and does not
support multiple simultaneous TigerVNC sessions (or a simultaneous
TigerVNC and local session) under the same user account. That is, IMHO,
an unnecessary overkill, because plenty of window managers (MATE, Xfce,
etc.) work perfectly fine with multiple simultaneous sessions, and we
are able to make GNOME work well enough to be usable.

Dear turbovnc experts,
if I start a (turbo-)vnc server and then log out the physical session,
the VNC session is terminated as well (or broken). I think this is a
limitation of (turbo-)vnc? It does work with CentOS7.
In order to work around this, I create the (turbo-)vnc server
in a (localhost) ssh session to the target host (is there a better
solution?) ;-)
This hack seems to work (I can still use the VNC session even if the
physical session is logged out).
However, it seems that in this specific situation, when locking a
vnc session (automatic or manual), the login manager does not
accept my password for unlocking the session (it is stuck).
I cannot unlock the session by running "loginctl unlock-session" from
an ssh connection.
I am using TurboVNC 3.1 on Ubuntu22.04 (Standard GNOME with gdm3).
I am using virtualgl so WaylandEnable=false is set in
/etc/gdm3/custom.conf.
Is it true that logging out of the physical session (where the
VNC session was created) is not supported at all (on Ubuntu22)?
Many Thanks and Best Regards!
Felix
