Re: Konsole ls colors when root

heavytull enlightened us with:
when I start my linux box I login as a common user or root.
under the X in a shell or directly under the VT when I type ls I get
the results in color and it is very nice!

but when still under the same session I login as another user by
typing su "usename" ls won't output with colors anymore :((

i even tried to copy the /etc/DIR_COLORS in the user home directory,
that doesn't change anything

The actual probem is that su does not load the aliases per user.

Try 'su - user' instead of 'su user'.

that's it

thanks
