## Frequently Asked Questions
* Yay does not display colored output. How do I fix it?
### Yay does not display colored output. How do I fix it?
Make sure you have the `Color` option in your `/etc/pacman.conf` [#123](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/123)
* Yay is not asking to select packages during install (issue [#554](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/554))
### Yay is not prompting to skip packages during sysupgrade (issue [#554](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/554))
The default behavior was changed from [v8.918](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/releases/tag/v8.918) (see: [3bdb534](https://github.com/Jguer/yay/commit/3bdb5343218d99d40f8a449b887348611f6bdbfc)).
To restore such behavior use the `--combinedupgrade`.
Note: this causes [native pacman](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers) to become partial.
* Sometimes diffs are printed to the terminal and other times they are pages
via less. How do I fix this?
Yay uses `git diff` to display diffs, by default git tells less to not page
if the output can fit one terminal length. This can be overridden by
exporting your own flags `export LESS=SRX`.
