Hello,

 

I have started on Armbian Ubuntu on a Orange Pi PC and have some difficults to follow the

tiny font on the terminal emulator.

In order to change the fontsize, I used the command "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" and choosed

the Terminus font with a bigger size. But no effect after reboot.

With which trick a modification can be performed?

What is with the fonts marked with "framebuffer"?

If a modification is not possible with the Armbian terminal emulator, can I use an alternative?

 

So I miss a property button as available on Raspian.

 

Thanks for yor help and best regards

Walter

 

 

 

 

Which image, which kernel? Provide logs (armbianmonitor -u), when you report a problem. HDMI console or desktop Xterm emulator?

Hello  Igor,

 

Many thanks for your quick reply.

Image: Ubuntu Xenial Legacy 3.4.113

Console: HDMI

Hope this helps.

What if you just change screen resolution with h3disp to some lower one?

Hello Igor,

 

I have already tested it with a lower resolution, but it dos'nt look good.

There are so many fonts on the system and I am disappointed not to use a proper one.

 

I need a crisp display for screenshots even with black characters on white background,

because I write an article about MQTT and Node-RED.

Best regards

Walter

 

Hello,

 

I have solved my problem by the installation of gnome-terminal.

 

This terminal has large, more readable black fonts on white background.

And it supports cut and paste!

 

I am surprised that Armbian has such a lausy default terminal,

my recommendation is: implement gnome-terminal!

 

Best regards

Walter

When you got if solved via the gnome-Terminal its sound you used a X/Desktop.
console-setup does only change the console at boot before the desktop-manager
