I have found next instruction on how to do that

  1. Install packages. Code: sudo apt-get install x11vnc vnc-java
  2. Set up a password for clients. Code: x11vnc -storepasswd

  3. Open up ports 5800 and 5900 on your firewall Run the terminal command:
    x11vnc -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 5800

    and add it for auto-starting in future sessions

    Additionally I have executed

    x11vnc -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 5900

    But no success from my vnc client, although I can ping ubuntu

To expand on my comments: being a server, it probably doesn't have X installed.

The simplest way to get "everything" would be sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. For a more minimal setup you will need xorg and a window manager of your choice; apt-cache search x-window-manager will give you a list.

  • i was able to run x11vnc -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 5800 from terminal and able to use vnc, but how i can set it permanently – volody Aug 12 '10 at 00:27
