VNC connection issues with 22.04

[Dan Towle]

I have several computers running 20.04 and a couple running 22.04. VNC was great on 20.04. I could connect using remina or real vnc no problem. on the 22.04 machines though, I cannot connect reliably at all. If the server montitor is in sleep, the server rejects the connection. On some machines I can connect once, but then not again until I restart the vnc server.

The issue is the same using rdp or vnc.

I have searched on this, but couldn't find any information that was helpful.

Thanks. Loving Ubuntu (35 year mac user)
