Gnome on Ubuntu Server 24.04 VM

Hello,

I created a VMWare VM of Ubuntu Server 24.04. I installed Gnome desktop onto it - packages of ubuntu-desktop and gdm3. I installed the VMWare tools package as well. I’ve been having VM issues of when the VM is disconnected and I exit the tab, go back into Vcenter and open up the VM again freezes up. It has a circle Ubuntu icon looking like its loading up but it just stays there. I always have to reboot it by exiting the VM and going back to vcenter to restart the guest OS using VMware tools. Also, sometimes when i logout of a user to take me back to the login screen, it just shows me a blank black screen. Not allowing me to enter in or select a username. I have to restart the guest OS again with VMWare tools. Wanted to know if anyone has experienced this issue and what was your fix. Thank you in advance!
