From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722 Description of problem: /etc/DIRCOLORS.xterm, which appears to be a new addition to beta2 of limbo is poorly optimized for dark GUI terminal backgrounds, which makes it very difficult to read. The default DIRCOLORS work well with both dark and light backgrounds. Alternatively you could provide another DIRCOLORS for dark backgrounds, but in any case this must be default as most users use dark backgrounds and the /etc/DIRCOLORS.xterm currently in limbo is very poor for dark backgrounds. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set background of gnome-terminal to a dark colour. 2. SSH into a limbo box 3. ls in a directory with subdirectories and other files in it (with the default --color=tty) Additional info:
I've no idea what package is supplying /etc/DIRCOLORS.xterm, but it is not XFree86 packaging. Please run: rpm -qf /etc/DIRCOLORS.xterm And then reassign this bug to the package that the rpm query shows.
Ah, nevermind.. it's fileutils. Found it.
