Hi Angelo, You can set 'ls' to run without colouring by passing '--color=none' on the invocation. Alternatively, you can setup an alias, like
alias ls='ls --color=none' Also, the coreutils command 'dircolors' to change, save, or display the colour database. You can run "info coreutils 'dircolor invocation'" for full details, but 'dircolor --print-database' will print the colour database in use. Then it is just a case of setting what you want (and, of course, using it ;-)). I am closing this bug as INVALID, since it ends up there is no problem on coreutils itself. Thank you, and please do not hesitate to open a new bug on any issue you find. ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- ls -la fails to print directory names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
