If I put
ls /*
Why is some of the readout flashing ?. :hmm:  in   /sbin
eg   /sbin  udev-add-printer this bit is in red and flashing on and off at one second.

roseway:
I guess it depends how ls is set up on your system. Some distros alias common commands to a preset version of the command. You could try "man ls".

[Edit] Also try "alias" which will tell you if your ls is an aliased version.

jelv:
From googling try running this:


--- Code: ---eval $(echo "no:global default;fi:normal file;di:directory;ln:symbolic link;pi:named pipe;so:socket;do:door;bd:block device;cd:character device;or:orphan symlink;mi:missing file;su:set uid;sg:set gid;tw:sticky other writable;ow:other writable;st:sticky;ex:executable;"|sed -e 's/:/="/g; s/\;/"\n/g') {
 IFS=:
 for i in $LS_COLORS
 do
 echo -e "\e[${i#*=}m$( x=${i%=*}; [ "${!x}" ] && echo "${!x}" || echo "$x" )\e[m"
done
}
--- End code ---

Certainly on my openSUSE Tumbleweed system nothing flashes, although the text is all colours of the rainbow  ;)

I shall make a guess that the file name, udev-add-printer, in the /sbin/ directory is a broken symbolic link. I.e. the target file, to which udev-add-printer is a symbolic link, does not exist within the file system.
