Terminal Colors [SOLVED]

Terminal Colors [SOLVED]

Postby alberto_chaos on Tue May 01, 2012 1:50 pm

Hello, I've recently migrated to LMDE XFCE, and I've tun through some problems, like no vertical scroll in my alps touchpad, and no wireless. I've solved the wireless problem and the touchpad one seems to require Kernel changing.
But this post is just about a tiny problem, in the last update the xfce-terminal seems to have lost it's color highlight abilities, and It's very annoying.
If I type "ls --colors=auto", the output is colored, so it is capable, how do I fix this so everything is automatic colored? starting from the name@host thing =]
Thanks in advance.

You didn't specify if your "migration" was an update or a clean install... because if it was an update, you can kinda solve the problem, and if it was a clean install, the problem shouldn't really be there. :?

After the installation (Clean), it was just fine, after some updates... colors were gone. :(

EDIT:
It is gone!
In the update pack 4, the bashrc was overwritten for a colorless one, you just have to roll it back.
In the topic Monsta linked there is the original code.
Thank you!

Oh. Have you installed some of the earlier ISOs - 201109, maybe? :shock: I haven't encountered this problem in 201204 editions (both RC and release), that's why I was asking.
Well, anyway, glad it's solved. You can add something like [SOLVED] to the thread's title to indicate that. :)
