Bash text colours - need monochrome - help !

[timmoore46]

colour has appeared in this:-

pi@raspberrypi ~/master $ ls
control_004.log logfile_0012 logfile_0014 logfile_002 logfile_022 logfile_024 y z
pi@raspberrypi ~/master $

but as I'm colour blind it makes about half of it unreadable.

How do I get it all to be black ?

A puzzled,

The "ls" command has been aliased to use "ls --color=auto" which shows different types of files in different colours.

Some people like this, it seems.

To disable it for your current session, use "unalias ls".

To disable it permently for that user, edit .bashrc and comment out the line " alias ls='ls --color=auto' "

found in etc

bash.bashrc

but could not find that line there.

unalias ls from bash worked a treat !

Many thanks !

.bashrc is in your home directory. It starts with a dot, so you need "ls -a" to see it.

/etc/bash.bashrc runs for all users. It sets up different things, that individual users are less likely to want to change.

Many thanks !
