Sorry! That wasn't my problem!

Anyway I've found a solution to fix it! Here it is:

CLICOLOR=1
LSCOLORS=gxfxcxdxbxegedabagacad
export CLICOLOR LSCOLORS

These few lines (add them in the /etc/profile) change the colors used to display ls results (directories, files, links, ...); in particular this hint changes the dark blue for the directories! I use a dark background and they are not readable on it!



Bye...
