I have a problem with the bash, It doesn't show the color indicators for folders or executables in the terminal. Does anyone got the same problem? How can I fix this?

Thx, in advance.):P

Try

ls --color=auto
If that works then check in .bashrc and look for a line similar to alias ls='ls --color=auto' and uncomment it or add it if need be.

The ls --color=auto work but I add it to bash.bashrc like you said and nothing, I just wrote down "ls= 'ls --color=auto' and nothing. Thank you anyway.

ok you said bash.bashrc, was that the name of the file if so then you have the wrong name, you also need to login in then out to get it to take effect on the terminal.

Forget what I said before, I found the .bashrc, but the instruction that you told me to uncoment is already uncomented and still don't work.
