Ubuntu ERROR! Error reply ‘ERR Background save already in progress’.

I’ve saw similar issue was already described here: https://forum.nomachine.com/topic/cannot-connect-ubuntu-24-04-lts
with the following workaround: “In case there is no actual monitor connected to the GPU, NoMachine was not able to connect, with not exactly explanatory error. After “fake monitor” dongle has been plugged in – issue self-resolved.”
which is unfortunately not the case for me – I’m using OCI Ampere ARM VM there with MATE configured as DE
Would appreciate any hint for resolving the case.
