I cloned a VM Ubuntu 20.04 from a Ubuntu 20.04 KVM Server. I then reinstalled it on another Ubuntu 20.04 KVM Server. The origanl Server is newer then the second Server. I had no problems creating the VM Server from the clone. I just can't get "startx" to work. I have tried "apt purge gdm3" and "apt install gdm3". I even reinstalled the "ubuntu-desktop". ".Xauthority" is correct. "Xorg -configure" didn't work either. I tried booting with "nomodeset". No matter what user, it even doesn't work with "root"

This is the same on both origanl and cloned VM Servers.
