You can correct this by downloading and installing [[http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/appleremotedesktop22client.html|Apple Remote Desktop Client 2.2]] to match what's bundled with Mac OS X 10.4.''x'' (Tiger). Alternatively, you can upgrade 10.3.9 or 10.4.''x'' to have [[http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/appleremotedesktop31client.html|Apple Remote Desktop Client 3.1]], which Apple says "is recommended for all users." -- EricPScott By default Apple Screen Sharing uses a proprietary security type and so clients such as vinagre, xvnc4viewer will receive error messages such as "incompatible version" or "no matching security types."

Introduction
Ubuntu can control an OS X machine remotely, using the Terminal Server Client program that comes with Gnome.
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.
Setting up Ubuntu to Access the Mac
On Ubuntu:
Ubuntu requires the following procedure 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).
Click System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
Install the xtightvncviewer package.
Click Applications > Accessories > Terminal
- In the terminal type:
update-alternatives --set vncviewer /usr/bin/xtightvncviewer
Accessing the Mac From Ubuntu
Click Applications > Internet > Terminal Server Client
For Computer, type in the host name of the computer.
For Protocol, choose VNC Then click 'Connect'
A password dialog will pop up. Type your password and hit enter.
Your Mac's desktop should appear on your screen.
Working Clients
- gnome-rdp
- xtightvncviewer
xvnc4viewer: only with -FullColour, but very slow:
