[opensuse-support] bad tty colors
More and more utilities are coming along presenting output in colors I can barely see, mitigating against the benefit of the naturally better usability of the kernel's nice bold fonts over GUI fonts. Latest of these is ip. Its manual makes no suggestion I can see to globally return colors to those of old, no apparent /etc/if.conf or equivalent. Is there a way to disable more than 4 color (normal fg, normal bg, bright fg, bright bg) output? I tried putting in .bashrc export COLORFGBG=4,7, but it has no apparent impact. Creating ~/.dircolors didn't help either, nor did removing /etc/DIR_COLORS. export LS_COLORS= in .bashrc also has no apparent impact, and no man page. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

That works only per invocation. I wrote "globally", an admin's local default, so it can be shared across all installations on the LAN. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I suppose you can add an alias everywhere: ip='ip -c=never' -- ============================ Roger Whittaker roger@disruptive.org.uk ============================ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Good terminal emulators such as terminology will allow you to change colors so you can pick ones with a high enough contrast for you or can set them all to white, this might be an option if your remoting into many systems. last time I checked you can still run it in framebuffer mode if you only have tty (although the way its packaged for openSUSE will pull in a bunch of X11 deps. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
