Ubuntu – console text size

Posted: February 28th, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: howto, linux | Tags: , , , , , | 1 Comment »

I have searched for a method to make the font size on the console (press ctrl+alt+f1) on ubuntu instalation.

After a few hours (yeah, it took a while) I have found this link:

It works on dell 1501.

Here is my grub’s menu.lst:

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=c93d3013-5367-4fc7-9a55-9093c56f544a ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
quiet
title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=c93d3013-5367-4fc7-9a55-9093c56f544a ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
title Ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

No vga tags at all…:)

Now you can easy use the console if you like it.
