or echo $LS_COLORS Investigation: coreutils installs /usr/bin/dircolors Blfs ch3.5 "Bash Shell Startup Files" creates /etc/dircolors using /usr/bin/dircolors -p > /etc/dircolors $HOME/.dircolors might exist if user put it there. A user *might* modify /etc/dircolors or $HOME/.dircolors to get custom highlighting. Try: dircolors -p > tmp-dircolors diff -u tmp-dircolors /etc/dircolors If any output (e.g., not exactly the same) then /etc/dircolors needs to be made sane, possibly by re-doing the step from blfs ch3.5 above. If $HOME/.dircolors exists, try: dircolors -b tmp-dircolors If that cannot work properly, then $HOME/.dircolors needs to be made sane or renamed, or deleted. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
