Colors not displaying
zjrubin opened this issue · 3 comments
I am using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). I followed the setup instructions.
Here is my LS_COLORS:
But the correct colors do not show up for the file extension when I am viewing that are available where Windows is mounted:
The colors are displaying fine as long as I am not in the /mnt folder or any of its subdirectories:
Any ideas what could be going wrong?
Here is the relevant portion of my .bashrc:
UPDATE: I think the issue is with the files being executable:
Could someone please explain what is going on here?
Thanks!
Try updating your distribution/WSL. What version of Windows are you on? I can't repro this with Ubuntu 18 LTS on 1903.
This sure looks distribution specific. I for one use linux and cannot support WSL. It would be useful to know if any dircolors configuration can be made to work.
I'm closing this pending evidence that this is a problem with LS_COLORS. Feel free to use this thread to discuss troubleshooting using it on WSL though.
