Ubuntu – console text size
Posted: February 28th, 2008 | Author: paul | Filed under: howto, linux | Tags: console, dell 1501, framebuffer, howto, linux, ubuntu | 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.
