bash colours

devinWhalen · 12-02-2003, 09:41 AM

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
alias path='echo -e ${PATH//:/\\n}'

# Allow local users to use my X session

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.

devinWhalen · 12-02-2003, 10:26 AM

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?

Multi Gnome Terminal

Thanks, make install is running as I type

. This looks like a cool program. Thanks for the tip
