echo $LS_COLORS in tty2 is empty

webcapcha · 2020-11-30 21:11:49

I downloaded dir_colors from https://github.com/seebi/dircolors-solarized
And it works inside konsole terminal but not for tty (ctrl+alt+f2)

I have pretty much customization in .bashrc file which is available with link http://ix.io/2G4W

Guessing that some of that settings conflict with tty LS_COLORS environment variable, because if I try to do echo $LS_COLORS there it returning no results.

if [[ "$TERM" != "linux" && -f "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors.ansi.dark" ]]; then

webcapcha · 2020-11-30 21:59:07

wait but later is elif section

elif [[ -f "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors" ]]; then

Trilby · 2020-12-01 00:17:38

And do you have such a file?

webcapcha · 2020-12-01 05:56:08

of course

Please go over your whole bashrc and debug it:

if [ -e $HOME/.bash_functions ]; then
    source $HOME/.bash_functions
fi

if [ -e $HOME/.bash_variables ]; then
    source $HOME/.bash_functions
fi

If it's still broken afterwards, debug all the files you source.

I'd esp. also look into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME …

Thanks for pointing me a mistype, bash_variables it's a leftover. It was empty. I removed it.

I'd esp. also look into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME …

cat $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors.ansi.dark

Gives me output, so no mistypes here. And properly file dircolors.ansi.dark, for now, has been downloaded from github (first message)

seth · 2020-12-01 10:26:28

I the script or an interactive shell?
What's "echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME"
Does

# Dir colors
if [[ "$TERM" != "linux" && -f "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors.ansi.dark" ]]; then
    eval $(dircolors "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors.ansi.dark")
elif [[ -f "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors" ]]; then
    dircolors "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors"
    eval $(dircolors "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors")
fi

get you the expectable output?

webcapcha · 2020-12-01 11:26:40

0 webcapcha@home-laptop:~$ echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
/home/webcapcha/.config

Now I've rewritten as
# Dir colors

if [[ -f "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors.ansi.dark" ]]; then
    eval $(dircolors "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors.ansi.dark")
elif [[ -f "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors" ]]; then
    eval $(dircolors "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors")
fi

So, didn't get, what do you mean expectable output?

seth · 2020-12-01 11:28:30

*NOT* in an interactive shell.
If you run dircolors in that segment it should print the variable that would be set by the following eval - does that happen?

webcapcha · 2020-12-01 13:37:35

well, is it correct that you mean to comment out

# [[ $- != *i* ]] && return

and try?

But even in this case shell is interactive.

seth · 2020-12-01 13:38:45

I want you to not inspect the variable by typing something into a shell but inside the bashrc.

That much has been obvious from the start - that would never have been in question based on your symptoms. What would be relevant is whether the following different command produces output - and specifically if it produces the output you want to use for your colors in the tty, which, for some unspecified reason, are different than the colors you are trying to use elsewhere:

cat $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dircolors

webcapcha · 2020-12-01 13:47:16

So I simply added echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME in .bashrc
and then source it

0 webcapcha@home-laptop:~$ source .bashrc 
/home/webcapcha/.config

I give up. This is going nowhere.
