Does the same when I try it. For some reason it is killing the client
immediately.

Ah, that's the purpose.

You don't need to run UltraVNC on the Ubuntu machine to vnc to it. The
UltraVNC client on the windows machine will connect just fine if you use
the standard System|Preferences|Remote Desktop. However, client chat and
file transfer won't work.
Note: if you UltraVNC via WINE from the linux machine to the windows
machine chat and FT does work. So I see what you mean & would like to
see it work the other way as well. If I figure anything out I'll let you
know.
