- Check to see whether the user(s) who have the colors go wrong have a file '$HOME/user_data/color_map'
- hanging around. This is used to configure the colors at login (see the OS 10.3 release notes).
-
- If that doesn't work, try the DM command 'rs -f' and/or 'rs -o'. Read the HELP pages for details.
-
- If that doesn't work, put the contents of the master color_map file `node_data/etc/dm_display/color_map
- into an edit pad, and prepend 'lcm -s ' to each line. Make sure that this file is executable, and
- then run it (or copy it into an input pad like a proper Domainiac would). This will, 1 at a time,
- set the colors by force to the master set. It takes a long time, and may wipe out the colors at first,
- but it's always ended up by cleaning things up for me.
