Install the x11vnc package:

{{{
apt-get install x11vnc

This is the quick HowTo to get x11vnc running on thin clients so you can connect to them using a vncviewer or the thin client manager app. note that this doc doesnt take security into account, if you want a safe solution enable a password for x11vnc

First of all lets chroot into the ltsp client environment on the server. 

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386

Install the x11vnc package: 

apt-get install x11vnc

Now edit the rc.local file to add x11vnc to the system startup 

vi /etc/rc.local

Add the following line before the exit 0 statement in this file and save it: 

x11vnc -display :6 -forever -bg

Now lets make sure rc.local gets actually executed: 

cd /etc/rc2.d
mv K99rc.local S99rc.local

Reboot your thin clients and you should be able to connect to them via vnc now.
