phunni Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 When I first installed mandrake and opend a shell (usually konsole) different types of file would appear in different colours - directories blue, executables in green etc... For some reason this is no loner the case - can anyone ive me any tips as to how to restore this? It's as it was when I am logged in via su, but not a normal user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Do a little search on this board because I remember answering a similar question here... or was the old board... don't know. give a try to "search" and if you find nothing, I'll be glad to help you tonight (i'm in a hurry now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 man ls. there is an option there that inlcudes the coloring scheme. ls is usually aliased to that but either something has changed in your system configuration (/etc/profile or in on of the .sh files called in it) or you have aliased ls with another set of options in your ~/.bash_profile or in your ~/-bashrc. sorry, i dont have a linux machine right now or ill post it right on. ciao!

phunni Posted January 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 I have looked at my /etc/profile and I have searched the forum and neither has fixed this (although I did figure out how to improve my bash prompt :mystismiles: ) A little while ao - my .bashrc seemed to have disappeared altogether - so my current .bashrc is one I have put together to re-enable Java etc... - it contains very little. I'm not sure what happened to the original file though. It has just occured to me to see if there is a clue in root's .bashrc (assumin there is one) - I'll post on my progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 My ~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc looks like this: [Desktop Entry] MenuBar=Enabled defaultfont=fixed,12,5,15,50,0 has frame=true schema=/usr/share/apps/konsole/Linux.schema scrollbar=2 /usr/share/apps/konsole/Linux.schema looks like this: # linux color schema for konsole title Linux Colors # FIXME # # The flaw in this schema is that "blick" comes out on the # Linux console as intensive background, really. # Since this is not used in clients you'll hardly notice # it in practice. # foreground colors # note that the default background color is flagged # to become transparent when an image is present. # slot transparent bold # | red grn blu | | # V V--color--V V V color 0 178 178 178 0 0 # regular foreground color (White) color 1 0 0 0 1 0 # regular background color (Black) color 2 0 0 0 0 0 # regular color 0 Black color 3 178 24 24 0 0 # regular color 1 Red color 4 24 178 24 0 0 # regular color 2 Green color 5 178 104 24 0 0 # regular color 3 Yellow color 6 24 24 178 0 0 # regular color 4 Blue color 7 178 24 178 0 0 # regular color 5 Magenta color 8 24 178 178 0 0 # regular color 6 Cyan color 9 178 178 178 0 0 # regular color 7 White # intensive colors # instead of changing the colors, we've flaged the text to become bold color 10 255 255 255 0 0 # intensive foreground color color 11 104 104 104 1 0 # intensive background color color 12 104 104 104 0 0 # intensive color 0 color 13 255 84 84 0 0 # intensive color 1 color 14 84 255 84 0 0 # intensive color 2 color 15 255 255 84 0 0 # intensive color 3 color 16 84 84 255 0 0 # intensive color 4 color 17 255 84 255 0 0 # intensive color 5 color 18 84 255 255 0 0 # intensive color 6 color 19 255 255 255 0 0 # intensive color 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Edit your home made .bashrc file to include the following alias: alias ls= 'ls --color=auto' That should give you color coded files, directories, ect. for the ls command if that's what your looking for.
