No colors in terminal when booting raspbian in text mode [on hold]
I am booting my pi as text with autologin.
Even after modifying the bashrc file in the /home/pi folder, I still see the text in white. I know that the color is enabled, because during the boot, I see the OK in green, so the terminal seems enabled for color, but nothing show up when I run ls -la or other commands.
What am I missing? I did enable force_color_prompt=yes in bashrc; and uncommented the lines where the aliases include the --color=autol but still nothing happen.

The terminal emulation also plays a role with colors on the text console. I just don’t know how it is set by default because I set it always to linux. You can get your setting with:
rpi ~$ echo $TERMTry to set it in ~/.profile as first command:
TERM=linuxthen logout/logon and look if it helps.

Hi @Jasen, you tried to add ´export TERM` to the answer. Sorry, but I haven’t accepted it because it is not needed.
~/.profileis a login file similar to~/.bashrc. It is sourced to the calling bash so there is no need to export environment variables when set in~/.profile. – Ingo 2 days ago -
@rataplan, Just now I did the following: (1) login to GUI DeskTpo, (2) switch to text terminal <ctrl-alt-F1>, (3) ls -la and saw a colourful list. imgur.com/gallery/dn18IJB Does it mean my config (rpi3B=, stretch 9) can do what your config cannot do? – tlfong01 yesterday
