What precisely are you referring to, or trying to achieve. There's a lack of context.

I am trying to view my computer screen on my phone through VNC, I achieved this on windows 7 using real vnc, and was pointed to using Vino on Ubuntu. But it fails to connect.

Ubuntu has a default remote desktop application installed as standard!
Sounds like you need to configure Ubuntu to allow remote desktop access, I cant remember the exact location of the settings, this may help

it does works as it was the reason I switched from suse which has a vnc bug to ubuntu in the first place!!!!

I found that VNC would freeze with Ubunto10.1 if you were running with the Enhanced desktop settings (Wobbley windows) turned on.
You may need to turn this feature off in order to use a remote connection on the N900 (when you get connected that is)

thanks Raif and MINKIN2 that helped great, because it finally connected but the screen was frozen so I turned off the effects.
This is my Ubuntu wireless adapter:

inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

This worked fine in Windows so why not Linux or is the remote desktop not VNC?
