This is an error from the VNC client, probably related to X forwarding.

Try setting the DISPLAY environment variable before running remote-viewer: 'export DISPLAY=0:0'

Or alternatively, you could setup port forwarding when connecting the the host,

and then run the VNC client on your local machine:

ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

remote-viewer vnc://localhost:5900

Thank you very much Andrej. When I do as you suggest I am still unable to console in - I receive "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:"

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
