Possible Duplicate:
TTY with 256 colors?

One of my dev machines is an Ubuntu server installation with no X/gui/etc. It just boots to terminal. Can I enable 256 colors here? How?

this does appear to be asking how to configure 256-color Virtual Terminals; closing as duplicate. i expect you can get 256 colors on a typical pseudo-TTY, eg, by SSH'ing into the box from your favorite terminal emulator (PuTTY, gnome-terminal, etc) running on another box, or even by running gnome-terminal on the dev box and displaying back to a remote X-server. if you'd like to explore the other options, please edit your question and flag for moderator attention to request it be reopened. – quack quixote Apr 15 '10 at 0:00

gnome-terminal is a terminal emulator program that runs in X and connects to a pseudo-TTY. not the same thing as a hardware TTY. – quack quixote Apr 14 '10 at 23:56
