When I upgraded my Ubuntu Linux from "Gutsy Gibbon" to "Hardy Heron" my gnome-terminal not shown some characters correctly anymore. I tried change the character encoding to UTF-8, but next time back again to ANSI_X3.4-1968. And I have found the solution.
Change your boot splash or menu appearance in ubuntu or kubuntu with startupmanager. Set password against kernel parameters for example: init=/bin/bash, what boot up your system to root prompt.
Installation:
sudo apt-get install startupmanager
After installation process has finished execute startupmanager:
sudo startupmanager
After it you can set any splash for boot, background image for GRUB, or you can set password protection for GRUB, or change resolution, color detph of boot process, etc...
Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) released on the 18th of October 2007. I've upgraded from Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10.
