Well? Did you try ;-)

Thing is that the client needs a cookie file to know "where" the server
is (and to show the server that it's allowed to). So, provided this
server is running, it has put this cookie file somewhere (typically in
your home dir, in emacs.d/server/server). I don't know how Ubuntu
customizes this in partticular.
