Colors on Konsole

Need help removing them..

[Nick_W]

Hi all,

I've just re-installed my RH system and am having some bother with colors. I'd like to get rid of them entirely on my 'konsole' including syntax highliting in Vim.

I can't even read the .vimrc (because most of it is in blue which I can't see well) which I kept from my previous install but it appears not to be working. Can someone please tell me what to check and what to look for?

Many thanks...

Nick

Two suggestions:

A) Set your environmental variable TERM to VT100
B) Try

echo syntax off >> ~/.vimrc

B disables syntax highlighing in VIM.

Okay, is TERM somthing I can define in .bashrc? and is 'b' somthing to type at the command line?

Thanks!

is TERM somthing I can define in .bashrc

Try TERM=VT100

is 'b' somthing to type at the command line?

Yes, you should just need to type it once.
Take a backup of ~/.vimrc first!

Well, I just added syntax off to the end of the vimrc and all is well ;)

Thanks for the help!

If you're finding that directory listings are all color-coded too, 'unalias ls' in your ~/.bashrc should do the trick. Who doesn't love trying to read dark blue text on a black terminal?

Thanks dingman, got that one covered ;)

Actually, I think it might have been you that helped me with that a few months back!

Now I've got Opera installed again, only qt-shared wont work on RH9, you gotta use the static version. Oh well.....
