No right color

[andreasqueri]

Don't work for me.

@andreasqueri By default ls doesn't output in colors. You have to use ls like this:

ls --color -a

In my bashrc I have the following lines for ls which works fantastically:

alias ls="command ls -F -X --group-directories-first --color -a"

Hmm, @phongvcao, I dont have any colors neither. But I think it has nothing to do with the colors provided here. I will find a solution for that.

I just installed it on Linux Mint 17.2 and also having color problems. I didn't have them with "Terminator". Did you ever find any solution to this @phongvcao ?

Terminator

Termite

@blacksky86 I am not really sure why you guys have problems. I no longer use Termite now I think it is still in a very unstable state. I switched to gnome-terminal several months ago.

+1 I'm having the same problem

Fixed it by making a dircolors file, like so dircolors -p > /etc/DIR_COLORS, then I changed this DIR_COLORS file, just went to the DIR entry and changed the color code to anything else, then added this to my ~.bashrc: eval "$(dircolors /etc/DIR_COLORS)" so that it loads the DIR_COLORS whenever bash shell is started (if you are using another shell with termite you can change the config file of your shell, or maybe termite's config file idk, i didn't look that much into it).

I'm not sure why this works, the default DIR code is 01:34 which means bold blue, but it's bold grey, and if you change it to 00:34 which means simply blue without bold/italics/etc, it does show it blue, so I'm perplexed as to why bold wouldnt work with blue. (perhaps something in the solarized color scheme? no idea)
