ranger isn't starting

[ssh3]

I have the trouble with starting of ranger.

I have ranger from melpa, my emacs version:

• GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i386-unknown-openbsd, GTK+ Version 3.20.6)
• GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-openbsd, GTK+ Version 3.22.7)

There is the problem on both version and local directories, but it work fine on remote (tramp) dirs. M-x toggle-debug-on-error M-x ranger

I believe this is resulting from your version of ls, can you run ls -alGh from the command line?

[ssh3]

You're right.

shupikov@balamut:~$ /bin/ls -alGh
ls: unknown option -- G

I didn't spot this immediately, because I usually use colorls instead of ls via shell alias.

shupikov@balamut:.emacs.d$ colorls -alGh

I set ranger-listing-switches variable as "-alh" and now it works.

Thank you, and excuse me for a trouble.
