emacs shell colors screwed up

emacs shell colors screwed up

[Seth Bird]

I just installed emacs 22.2.1 on Jaunty via apt-get. Here is an
example of what happens:

sbird@server:~$ ls
^[[0m^[[0marc^[[0m  ^[[01;34mbqw^[[0m  ^[[0mc.arc^[[0m  ^
[[01;34mclocks^[[0m  ^[[01;34mpublic_html^[[0m  ^[[01;32mrepeat.sh^
[[0m  ^[[0mtodo^[[0m
^[[msbird@server:~$

This happens both when I'm inside gnu screen, and outside of it.

I want to keep colors, but just obviously have them work properly :)

my .emacs file:

    (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-b") 'buffer-menu)
    (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook '(lambda () (toggle-truncate-lines 1)))
    (setq comint-prompt-read-only t)

try out http://eddymulyono.livejournal.com/68920.html, although you
might want to use M-x ansi-term instead M-x shell

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)

P.S. Upgrade to Emacs 22.3 or 23.1

Thank you! that's exactly what I want.

I used to know that, but it's been so long since I've used emacs :(
