Yes, to increase the default 80 columns of the native console. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Connect to your EVE-NG server using SSH.
2. Edit the /etc/default/grub file using a text editor such as nano or vi.
3. Find the line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add the following option at the end of the line:
Code: Select all
video=800x600
```
This option will set the console resolution to 800x600 pixels, which will allow you to display more than 80 columns.
4. Save the changes to the /etc/default/grub file.
5. Update the GRUB configuration by running the following command:
6. Reboot your EVE-NG server to apply the changes. After the reboot, you should be able to see more than 80 columns in the native console. However, please note that the console font size may be smaller, so you may need to adjust the font size or zoom level in your SSH client to make the text readable. You can also adjust the console resolution to a higher value if necessary, but keep in mind that higher resolutions may require more resources from your server.
