 Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2004 8:26 pm Post subject: /etc/DIR_COLORS missing but I still have colors? |
 |
|
I just installed Gentoo on a box and every time I log in as a non-root user, I get this:
| Code: | | dircolors: `/etc/DIR_COLORS': No such file or directory |
However, I still have colored directories and filenames. Weird. I installed from stage1-x86-20040218 and went with ~x86 for my system emerge. I have baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1 install. I have reemerged baselayout, bash, and anything else I can think of to get a DIR_COLORS file.
Why don't I have one in the first place? Why do I have color nonetheless? Finally, where can I get a DIR_COLORS file to put in /etc to make this nag go away?
Thanks! |

here it is, dont know where it came from though:-

# The keywords COLOR, OPTIONS, and EIGHTBIT (honored by the
# slackware version of dircolors) are recognized but ignored.

# Below are the color init strings for the basic file types. A color init

# Text color codes:
# 30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white

NORMAL 00 # global default, although everything should be something.
FILE 00 # normal file
DIR 01;34 # directory
LINK 01;36 # symbolic link. (If you set this to 'target' instead of a

DOOR 01;35 # door
BLK 40;33;01 # block device driver
CHR 40;33;01 # character device driver

| I believe the reason that you still have colors is there is also a file in your home directory that list the color settings. Dont have access to my box at the moment but ill post its name later if no one else has. |

The problem is they moved the files around. You need to remove the line from your ~/.bashrc that says
eval `dircolors /etc/DIR_COLORS`
That should fix it. |

I don't think it's a file, it's the LS_COLORS environmental variable.

cp Angrybob file from ^up^ there and
chmod 644 /etc/DIR_COLORS
you probably ran an etc-update and wrote over it. |

There is also a copy of DIR_COLORS in your portage tree:
/usr/portage/sys-apps/fileutils/files/DIR_COLORS
I had this same problem last time I did a new install, for some reason it gets deleted.
