I tried the answers other similar queuest in Ask Ubuntu, but didn't get it to work.

I reboot Ubuntu 12.04. I remote in using SSH, and do /usr/lib/vino/vino-server to start VNC service.

UltraVNC client reports: Failed to connect to server!

But if I login at the Ubuntu computer and try UltraVNC again, it works.

I also had this issue. I tried user1689961's answer but got a connection refused. When I added the -allow <ip address of client> option, it worked.

The full command:

sudo x11vnc -safer -localhost -once -nopw -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -display :0 -allow <ip address>
