On the ubuntu laptop i have configured the remote desktop to allow connections. Then on the laptop i can open remote desktop viewer and connect to the same laptop using just the ip and i get to see my screen (like a loop).

Then on the n900 using either presence vnc or vnc viewer i cant connect. I start up presencevnc from xterm and connect to just my ip address, it then has the loading symbol for a couple of minutes and i get the following output:

Code:
/home/user # presencevnc
Maemo applications must be run with the run-standalone.sh script!
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.
--------------------- trying init ---------------------
"ConnectToTcpAddr: connect"
"Unable to connect to VNC server"
about to quit
"Server not found."
Am i missing doing any sort of config on the n900? Am i doing something stupid?

My first time trying to vnc to ubuntu.
You're trying to run it as root, which is why you get that initial warning message. That shouldn't cause any issues with the connection though. You can test whether the problem's in the client by using telnet (use the appropriate IP address and port (display + 5900)):
Code:
telnet a.b.c.d 5900
