No color when using "ls" command about dvtm HOT 7 CLOSED

I propose to make sure you installed terminfo with the tic command. Usually it is done automatically...

tic -s dvtm.info

It may also be due to ls not recognizing dvtm as a valid terminal type.

Can you try to set the TERM=xterm-260color variable to something very common, like:

$ dvtm
$ export TERM=xterm-256color
$ ls

from dvtm.

Thank you for the answer.

I have done this command before:

    tic -s dvtm.info

because the README.md file advices to do it but it still does not work.

For the other solution I tried this TERM=xterm-256color, I have also installed xterm because I did not installed it on computer before. Colors appear with ls but nothing works in Vim. However, if I try
this:

    $ dvtm
    $ export TERM=st-256color
    $ ls

it works fine and Vim works too but when I quit Vim, the prompt appears above the first line of the terminal, not after the vim command as it should be. Do you have another solution?

Thanks again!

Have you tried TERM=dvtm-256color?

Yes, I did. But it's the same problem: colors doesn't appear with ls --color.

I've found a possible solution. I added this:

LS_COLORS='rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:mh=00:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:mi=00:su=37;41:sg=30;43:ca=30;41:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arc=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lha=01;31:*.lz4=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.lzma=01;31:*.tlz=01;31:*.txz=01;31:*.tzo=01;31:*.t7z=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.dz=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.lrz=01;31:*.lz=01;31:*.lzo=01;31:*.xz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*.tbz=01;31:*.tbz2=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jar=01;31:*.war=01;31:*.ear=01;31:*.sar=01;31:*.rar=01;31:*.alz=01;31:*.ace=01;31:*.zoo=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.7z=01;31:*.rz=01;31:*.cab=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.jpeg=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.pbm=01;35:*.pgm=01;35:*.ppm=01;35:*.tga=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.tiff=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.svg=01;35:*.svgz=01;35:*.mng=01;35:*.pcx=01;35:*.mov=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.mpeg=01;35:*.m2v=01;35:*.mkv=01;35:*.webm=01;35:*.ogm=01;35:*.mp4=01;35:*.m4v=01;35:*.mp4v=01;35:*.vob=01;35:*.qt=01;35:*.nuv=01;35:*.wmv=01;35:*.asf=01;35:*.rm=01;35:*.rmvb=01;35:*.flc=01;35:*.avi=01;35:*.fli=01;35:*.flv=01;35:*.gl=01;35:*.dl=01;35:*.xcf=01;35:*.xwd=01;35:*.yuv=01;35:*.cgm=01;35:*.emf=01;35:*.ogv=01;35:*.ogx=01;35:*.aac=00;36:*.au=00;36:*.flac=00;36:*.m4a=00;36:*.mid=00;36:*.midi=00;36:*.mka=00;36:*.mp3=00;36:*.mpc=00;36:*.ogg=00;36:*.ra=00;36:*.wav=00;36:*.oga=00;36:*.opus=00;36:*.spx=00;36:*.xspf=00;36:';
export LS_COLORS

to my /etc/profile file.

On some systems dircolors(1) seems to be used to set the LS_COLORS environment variable.
Also at least with GNU ls, which you seem to be using, you can force colors with ls --color=always.

As you noticed this seems to be an issue with your shell startup scripts.

from dvtm.

I had a similar problem. ls --color=always didn't work when I had TERM=dvtm-256color but ls worked normally when TERM=xterm-256color. (tic -s dvtm.info also didn't help.)
