Hi, bobowsh.

Use a different terminal, aterm doesn't support UTF-8

Which port are you using ?

Try rxvt, vte, lxterminal, genome-terminal ... etc.

You'll also need True Type Fonts such as unifont, notosans ... etc.

Did you mean  gnome-terminal ?

Ha~, ha~
Nice catch
Yes, I mean gnome-terminal
This isn't molecular biology.

True, but not everyone who reads that post in the future
may be aware of gnome.

I've been on a few wild goose chases because someone
looking for help misspelled an item I was not familiar with.

A future in which a person would be aware of TCL (at least enough to be reading this thread) and unaware of gnome? I love it. Sounds like my kind of future :)

Then I guess you've never seen any posts resembling this:

Hi Rich. I guess some people take a lot less time to see the light than I did. I wish I were like the newbies in these posts! Finding TCL sooner in my FOSS journey would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation.

Hi bobowsh
Please use  Code Tags  when posting commands and responses seen in a terminal. To use  Code Tags  click on the  #  icon
above the reply box and paste your text between the  Code Tags  as shown in this example:

Quote

[code][   36.176529] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517
[   36.176536] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supplies: -517
[   36.191753] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517[/code]

It will appear like this in your post:

Code: [Select]

[   36.176529] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517
[   36.176536] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supplies: -517
[   36.191753] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517
Code Tags  serve as visual markers between what you are trying to say and the information you are posting. They also preserve
spacing so column aligned data displays properly. Code tags also automatically add horizontal and or vertical scrollbars
to accommodate long lines and listings.

Hi bobowsh
You can try adding the boot code:

Code: [Select]

vga=askand see if a list of video modes is displayed when you boot.

Or you can try one of the codes under "Linux video mode numbers"
found here:

You can install graphics-KERNEL.tcz and use a different X server.

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi graphics-KERNEL Xorg-7.7
Sometimes you'll need drivers for your graphic card

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi firmware-radeon
Adjust the commands above to suit your needs.
