| Code: |
ls [options] --color
|
you can place this in an alias
| Code: |
alias ls='ls [options] --color'
|
of course, change the [options] to whatever you like. |

do an ls -la in your home directory and see if you have your .bashrc and .bash_profile files there. If not, copy them from /etc/skel to your home directory and change ownership of them to your username. If they are present, add this to them:
| Code: | eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS`
alias ls="ls --color=auto" |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Other Things Gentoo. Colors are not an installation issue.

When I put these lines in my .bashrc file, I get as an output on my console all the stuff that is in DIR_COLORS but it's annoying.
Is there any way to make it silent? I mean, having no output from the command?

Since we are talking about lscolors check out this webpage Goes into how you can change from the default colors and what all the numbers are for what color
