From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021017 Description of problem: /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh checks $TERM and looks for /etc/DIR_COLOR.$TERM This makes colors work right in terminal programs that have their $TERM set to xterm. I today switched to a setup where my terminals are automatically run with screen on top of zsh so that I can use "ctrl-a d" to push something into the background and not have to worry about it going away if X crashes. This is especially nice with downloads/uploads. So my $TERM is constantly set to screen instead of xterm. This results in sub-optimal ls colors. As a workaround I have used cd /etc ; ln -s DIR_COLORS.xterm DIR_COLORS.screen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. screen 2. ls Actual Results: Colors work, but aren't correctly set, so things like archive files aren't red. Expected Results: Proper colors for all file types. Additional info:
Perhaps a better solution is to add a line to /etc/DIR_COLORS, rather than make a new file.
