Resolution of terminal
#1
I have my zotac nano connected to a 55" tv with XBMCbuntu live installed. When I exit XBMC to a terminal(alt+ctrl+f2) the window is too big and the text too small to see from a distance. Is there a way to change the size of the terminal window and/or the text? I'm not familiar with linux so If there is a way I'm looking for a step by step if available. Thanks

it is no terminal window. you switch to tty console. it is not terminal programm running under your desktop enviroment. it is (usually) running in textmode or direct fb.

changing font size of tty terminal is at least not easy to change if at all.

Changing font size can be done with

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Font size is selectable on the last menu.

Thanks Black Eagle, I got a bunch of errors and unfound directories at the end of the process but it changed the size fine.
