Connect to Beaglebone Black via VNC client in Ubuntu 12.04

I am planning to run OpenCV sample code in the BBB, and some graphic outputs are necessary.

After some searches and tests, I made it. Here is the minimal steps.

Step 1: Make sure there's x11vnc in BBB which acts as the VNC server.

Step 2: SSH to BBB and run the following command:

x11vnc -bg -o %HOME/.x11vnc.log.%VNCDISPLAY -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm*/database -display :0 -forever

The terminal will return the following message:

Step 3: Install xvncviewer in Ubuntu as the client viewer.

Step 4: Run xvncviewer and use ``192.168.7.2:5900'' to connect to BBB.

Here is the desktop of BBB:
