LatencyTop console has random characters and the arrow keys to display processes don't work right as per attachment.
Need to replace vt100 terminal emulator with xterm as per this thread:

Hi Jessica,
Thank you for your quick follow up on this. Indeed, your approach for the fix is more consistent.
Unfortunately, the commit for eclipse-poky-juno branch (http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/eclipse-poky-juno/commit/?id=f55ee82475d714ca4dbb4e52399fc3a55ef6f4d8) have one line missing:
In the file TerminalHandler.java around the line 100 we need to use "changeTerm()" instead of "changeTerm".
Thank you,
  Tudor.

reopening to add the missing line

LatencyTop console Screenshot - Eclipse Juno

I've tested this and in Juno the LatencyTop console still has non-readable characters, as you can see in the attachment. In Kepler I can't reproduce this.
Tudor, can you manage to reproduce this issue in Juno?
Comment 6 Tudor Florea 2014-01-15 21:07:16 UTC 
I have retested and it works fine now.
The commands executed in the terminal are:
export TERM=xterm;export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin; cd; 
sudo latencytop.
Ada, can you double ckeck you have the second commit from Jessica (http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/eclipse-poky-juno/commit/?id=0c70ec13640f5ff5674eef6125d66d9d5b97fa3e)?
