Hi,

New to Linode here. Just trying to run the command linode-cli linodes list and get this huge error.

That error suggests that some character coming back is not encoding correctly in the “Windows-1252” character encoding. I assume this is related to a unicode character in one of your Linode labels. Ideally, the CLI would force encoding to unicode for all output to prevent these errors. I don’t have ready access to a windows machine to reproduce this on, but I’ll try to get a fix posted before tomorrow’s scheduled CLI release.
