Re: No coloring with colorls
This method also works! Instead of vt220 I now used xterm-256color. Thank you!

What should I put in /etc/ttys, taking into account that I regularly use multiple virtual consoles? And where in that file do I place that? At the beginning or the end? Or somewhere in between?

Re: No coloring with colorls
It works correctly! My /etc/profile now looks like this: export TERM=xterm-256color export CLICOLOR=yes export CLICOLOR_FORCE=yes export LSCOLORS=exfxcxdxbxegedabagacad And with colorls -Ghl I get the output in color.

Re: No coloring with colorls
Hello, I use in my user .profile ~/.profile TERM=wsvt25 export PATH HOME TERM export ENV=$HOME/.kshrc export CLICOLOR=true export LSCOLORS=ExGxcxdxCxegedabagacad and in the .kshrc ~/.kshrc alias ls=/usr/local/bin/colorls For me it´s ok on the console and on X. For me it's a gimmick. Actually always try to stick to base with everything. Hope it´s on topic. Wish you all the best, Heinz Gesendet: Dienstag, 26.

If there are any issues using TERM=xterm in place of vt220, feel free to let me know.

For X, it's configured in your terminal emulator, e.g. for xterm you can use one of these :in .Xdefaults XTerm*termName: xterm-color XTerm*termName: xterm-256color For text console, /etc/ttys. For current OpenBSD versions (7.1 and on) xterm-color should be a reasonable choice too (for older versions, pccon). -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.

$ pkg_info -q colorls
ls(1) that can use color to display file attributes
This is a simple hack, taken from FreeBSD, to OpenBSD's ls(1) to
use ANSI sequences to display file attributes in color. There is
a -G flag (somewhat similar to the -F flag). Take a look at the
man page for details. The program is called "colorls", so you may
want to use an alias such as ls=/usr/local/bin/colorls.
Note that you need a color-capable terminal to enable colorls. This
means you should set your TERM to "wsvt25" on the wscons(4) console
and to "sun-color" when using the Sun console, not "vt220" and
"sun", respectively, which are not color-capable in termcap(5).
