How to install a vnc server on ubuntu [closed]

Question

I just got my vps and I cant figure out how to install a vnc server on it

There are any number of tutorials available that can assist you with this installation Matthewj
Ive been searching tutorials all day, and yes in deed there is a lot of them none of them work for me
It would be much more constructive and make it easier for people to assist you if you outlined the specific problem(s) you're having.
Do you want to start a separate X11 session for VNC serving, or do you want to see the console session?

	Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: Couldn't find package vnc4server – Matthewj Oct 14 '11 at 18:27
	apt-cache search vnc , look for the vnc server package name, then apt-get install – iainlbc Oct 14 '11 at 18:32
	@Matthewj It's there. Or you don't have Ubuntu: packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vnc4server – mailq Oct 14 '11 at 18:33
	You probably need to update your repositories (/etc/apt/sources.list). I couldn't tell you which ones you'll need though, it depends on which ubuntu version you are using. Google is your friend there, the ubuntu website itself has very comprehensive docs. – paulos Oct 14 '11 at 18:39
