When accessing the VERDE menu from a remote terminal session, the menu is unreadable or badly formatted.

This can be due to a bad setup of your remote terminal session, such as having TERM configuration set to VT100.  An xterm terminal is multi-colored, the VT100 is monochrome. 

SOLUTION:

To change the set up of the remote terminal session (such as PUTTY) , run these two commands:

TERM=xterm

export TERM

Run the VERDE Menu:

 /usr/lib/verde/bin/verde-menu
