Hey,

I don't know if I gave this the correct subject but....when I am in a konsole and I do a ls, or when I open a file....say .pl there are no colours anymore! There was yesterday and now there are not. What controls this? I was messing around with my konsole schema but then I turned it back and now all the colous are gone. When I ssh into my server using the same konsole and schema I get colours, so it must be in a ~/.somthingfile....I think.

Thanks for the help (hope I was clear)

Have you changed your .bashrc file?

Code:

# Celeron 850 tinwhistle .bashrc file for user fancy

# User specific aliases and functions



# Change bash prompt. See the article:

# http://www-106.ibm.com/developerwork.../l-tip-prompt/

export PS1='\d \@ \[\e[32;1m\]\u\[\e[34;1m\]@\[\e[36;1m\]\H \[\e[34;1m\]\w\[\e[32;1m\]$ \[\e[0m\]'

# For the root account use this

# export PS1='\d \@ \[\e[31;1m\]\u\[\e[34;1m\]@\[\e[36;1m\]\H \[\e[34;1m\]\w\[\e[31;1m\] # \[\e[0m\]'



# Set paths

No, I haven't changed my bashrc file. If I su to root then the colours show up. I looked at the root bashrc but nothing that deals with colours is in there? Thanks for your bashrc file though....I am going to have to steal some of that ;)

Maybe there is some sort of konsole setting?

Edit:

I just started up a xterm as my user name and the colours are fine....so it must be the konsole....I think :)

I never have liked kde or konsole. Gimme either E-term or multi-gnome-terminal.

I don't use kde but rather xfce, but I have always liked konsole. But I am always open to new apps. What is multi-gnome-terminal? Where do I get it? I install all of gnome but it doesn't seem to be there?

Thanks, make install is running as I type :). This looks like a cool program. Thanks for the tip :)
