There is no GNOME 2 on modern Linux distros. (GNOME 2 is actually MATE.) The GNOME flashback session is merely GNOME 4 with a UI that behaves more like GNOME 2, but those differences are purely cosmetic. TurboVNC is supposed to use the regular GNOME session by default and the flashback session if you specify “2d” as the window manager. Can you post the TurboVNC session log (under ~/.vnc on the host)? That may give me a clue as to what is failing. It may be that we assume that a particular package is installed that isn’t installed on your system, which may mean that our DEB config needs to be altered to specify that package.

Is GNOME installed on the machine? You don’t have to use GNOME, but it is the default window manager (and -wm 2d invokes gnome-classic), so if you don’t want to use it, you will need to specify a different window manager.

hello DRC,
thank you for your answer. Yes, I can locally log on to GNOME4, but I guess it's Ubuntu modified version (since the same test works fine on Debian12).
But I indeed I didn't have "GNOME2" installed on the VM(s): I now installed gnome-session-flashback and get the same black screen/window as with GNOME4.

Any idea anyone? Since Ubuntu22.04/GNOME42 is officially supported [1]?

Could I use tigervnc with virtualgl if I cannot solve this?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix
