You have no configuration defined for xterm. Create a configuration:

nano ~/.Xresources

and add these lines

xterm*faceName: Ubuntu Mono:style=Regular:antialias=true
xterm*faceSize: 12
XTerm*Background: black
XTerm*Foreground: grey

and run this command:

xrdb -I$HOME ~/.Xresources

Ok, that worked, but now the background is white. How do I change it back to black? – It's Willem May 08 '15 at 18:08
