Ubuntu color escape codes 1

[BJZeak]

I have set UBUNTU up with KSH and WYSE60 yet it it still insists on sending out Color Escape codes ... is there anyway to turn this OFF

What is your $TERM set to? If it is correctly set then it shouldn't try to display colours on a terminal type that does not support them.

Which command(s) are display coloured text? Is it mainly ls? If so, unsetting LS_COLORS should fix it... you'll probably need to find where this is set during login to do so permanently. Check /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d perhaps...

Thank-you for that pointer ... turns out this was set in the .bashrc file so set;
color_promt=

To be clear, the line must be:
color_prompt=yes

isn't it ?

and then:
PS1="\[\e[0;34m\][\u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] "
should work

color_promt=

removes any prior setting of color ... I wanted to turn OFF the color escape codes not turn them on.
