Hi, this is my first post as it is my first lfs build. My install went very well and am now on the blfs stuff. I installed xorg and minimal dependancies (libpng & fontconfig). ls colours work fine in a tty but I can't seem to get a colour terminal in X, also I installed the midnight commander (mc) and that also is black and white only in X. I have been looking in depth at the configuration files in /etc specifically: "profile" "profile.d/*" "bashrc" "dircolors" "profile", also "rc.d/init.d/functions". The functions file was not executable to start with (all other files in init.d were) but when I made it executable nothing changed. I can see scripts which add "xterm-color" to my exports (eg. /etc/profile.d/tinker-term.sh) but I can't seem to get them to work - if I do "export TERM=xterm-color" then open a new xterm, still no color. I can't see the relationships going on here, any hints?
try as a test setting the term type to TERM=linux see how that goes. Matt -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
