As an alternative to aibrahim's method if you are doing it remotely via ssh, here's my steps to VNC to display :0.

  2. Add the following lines to /root/.vnc/config.d/vncserver-x11 as described in RealVNC: Support legacy viewersRealVNC: Support legacy viewers
    SecurityTypes=VncAuth
    UserPasswdVerifier=VncAuth
