Thanks for the bug report. The reason it displays weird characters is because that is a gzipped text file. Ti un-gzip, type the following: gunzip manual.txt.gz
After this, you can read the file normally. ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- gnome terminal displays weird characters after cat manual.txt.gz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
