| Ubuntu requires the following proceedure to be done once to ensure the correct 'Tight VNC' protocol is used to access the Mac, rather than regular VNC, which won't work (if VNC is used, the connection will fail with a 'Unknown message type 255 from VNC server' response).

Ubuntu can control an OS X machine remotely, using the default Remmina Remote Desktop Client application.
Setting up the Mac to be Accessed Remotely
On the Mac:
- Open System Preferences (it's in the Apple menu)
Open the Sharing panel
Check the box Apple Remote Desktop
Click Access Privileges
Check the box VNC viewers may control screen with password, and enter a password
Click OK
Accessing the Mac From Ubuntu
On Ubuntu:
Launch Remmina Remote Desktop Client
Select Connection > New from menu
Select VNC - Virtual Network Computing as Protocol
Optionally fill both User name and Password to make Remmina remember Your credentials
IMPORTANT: Set Color depth to High color (15 bit) or better, otherwise connection will fail
Click Connect (or Save to reuse it later)
Your Mac's desktop should appear on your screen.
Other working clients
xtightvncviewer: asks two times for authentization – first time in local terminal, the second one is on remote OS X login screen; some special applications (e.g. VirtualBox) running on the remote host can capture keyboard and thus make entering the credetials impossible.
gnome-rdp: with xtightvncviewer installed and set as default vncviewer (run sudo update-alternatives --set vncviewer /usr/bin/xtightvncviewer in terminal)
xvnc4viewer: only with -FullColour, but very slow: xvnc4viewer -FullColour macserver
To work around authentication issues like "Unknown authentication scheme" or such, it may help to enter this in Terminal (or over SSH):
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -verbose -activate -restart -agent -allowAccessFor -allUsers -privs -all -clientopts -setvnclegacy -vnclegacy yes -setvncpw -vncpw passwordYouWantToUse
