Dear DRC,
Here attached the two log files obtained with and without -geometry option. They look pretty the same except a part with warnings related to XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) that is present two times in the working log and one time in the not_working log.
Hope this can help finding the issue, which is probably related only to my installation…
Best regards
Andrea

Can you check the TurboVNC session log under ~/.vnc on the server. It occurs to me that the TurboVNC Server may be trying to execute xinitrc because the GNOME session desktop file isn’t available (due to a missing package.)

Dear DRC,
here are the exact steps.
In September I’ve upgraded from 20 to 22. I had TurboVNC 2.x and after the upgrade I’ve also update to the last version that was 3.03. No problem and all started to work smoothly.

On Friday I had to further upgrade because I’ve received a vulnerability report from my ICT admin because of the OpenSSH version 8.9. So I had to update to 9.3 that is supported by UBUNTU 24. After the upgrade I had the TurboVNC version 3.03 already installed and I’ve received the same error, this is because I update to 3.1. So, at my knowledge, at least TurboVNC 3.03 has the issue.
Actually, I cannot try the older versions because the machine is shared.
What I guess is that it might be a problem due to the fact that I don’t have a fresh installation but a 2 times updated version of Ubuntu… 
Thanks a lot 
Andrea Farina

I mentioned TVNC_USERDBUS in case you were using GNOME Classic, but that environment variable should not be necessary with plain (non-classic) GNOME. I will try to reproduce the issue, but I may not be able to. (This sort of issue tends to be system-specific and may not even be related to TurboVNC.) The best thing you can do to debug it is to try prior versions of TurboVNC. Try 3.1, then try 3.0.3, then 3.0, then 2.2.7. Stop as soon as you find a version that behaves either better or worse than the current version— that is, a version that either doesn’t exhibit the bug or exhibits a worse bug. (The version of GNOME in Ubuntu 24.04 may not work with TurboVNC 2.2.x, for instance.) What I’m looking for is some way to narrow down a specific version of TurboVNC that might have introduced the issue, which may give me a clue as to the feature that introduced it, which may give me a clue as to how to reproduce and fix it.

Dear DRC, sorry I'm not so expert in those things!
On the physical machine each user has the standard desktop is GNOME. If I successfully connect without the -geometry options, the result of the command 
wmctrl - m is GNOME Shell, so I guess GNOME is what I try to use with TurboVNC.
I use the standard xstartup.turbovnc file in the folder /opt/TurboVNC/bin that is the same you can download from Github https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/blob/main/unix/xstartup.turbovnc.
I've tried to put in the second line TVNC_USERDBUS=1 and connect with -geometry but without success.

If you can explain me more in details which commands I have to use I can debug the problem.

Thanks a lot!

That shouldn’t happen. Please answer my question regarding which window manager you are using.

Dear DRC,
thank you very much. I've tried to set the variable using the command 
export TVNC_USERDBUS=1 before creating the display with 
/opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver :2 -geometry 1440x900
but the problem still remains.
I could solve it discarding the option -geometry 1440x900. Don't know why, but in the last versions I could set geometry without problems.
Thanks again
Regards
Andrea

Which window manager are you attempting to use?  I have tested GNOME,
MATE, and Xfce under Ubuntu 24.04 with no issues.  There is a known
issue with the GNOME Classic window manager on Ubuntu 24.04, however. 
In order to use GNOME Classic/Ubuntu 24.04 with TurboVNC, you have to
set TVNC_USERDBUS=1 in the environment, which limits you to one
simultaneous session.
