3. Creating login log

$ touch ~./vnc/x11vnc.log

4. Startup VNC service

$ x11vnc -nap -wait 50 -noxdamage -rfbauth /home/user_name/.vnc/passwd -display :0 -nocursor -forever -o /home/user_name/.vnc/x11vnc.log -bg(you all process information will store the path ~.vnc/x11vnc)

5. Check if this port is listening

sudo netstat -lntp | grep x11vnc if there is not this port, check the log file cat /~.vnc/x11vnc.log to find more error details.
