How do i get color back into my linux terminal?

Q. I recently changed the color of my linux terminal from the standard black text and white background to a black background and light blue text. When the default colors were used directories and certain file types would show up in different colors, but when i changed the scheme it took away the colors. is there any way to get them back with a command or setting? Thanks in advance.

A. You will want to set the environment variable LS_COLORS in your .bash_profile or .bashrc file.

Check out the following web site that explains the variable and all of its parameters:

In Ubuntu Linux what is the Terminal command to close a window?
Q. I have an application that opens at launch to allow me to use my Gamepad to control the mouse and arrow keys. This application also opens a window so I would like a terminal command that I can program to close the window at startup. Thank you.

A. Your question is worded a bit oddly but I think you're looking for System > Preferences > Startup Applications

=) hope that helps!
