[Barrelfish-users] Terminal init issue

[Simon Gerber]

Hi Vinay,

Can you check whether you use the correct version of menu.lst? We merged 
a new terminal subsystem a couple months back which changes how the 
serial driver / terminal subsystem and their clients are started. As a 
quick reference, here's the new set of lines needed in menu.lst:

# General user domains
module /x86_64/sbin/serial
module /x86_64/sbin/fish nospawn
module /x86_64/sbin/angler serial0.terminal xterm

Hope this helps,

-- Simon
