You have been subscribed to a public bug: To reproduce: 1) Open a terminal 2) Cd to a directory where you have a lot of different kind of files 3) type ls
The default colors are terrible. Most of the time you can't read most of the entries in a directory listing. Some file names are shown with electric blue text on a blueish green background. Note that I am not daltonic. Default colors don't need to be beautiful but they do have to be reasonably readable ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: gnome (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-30.54-generic 2.6.35.13 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-30-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Jul 10 22:07:38 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: meta-gnome2 ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: apport-bug i386 maverick -- default LS_COLORS are annoyingly unreadable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
