How to disable global Linum mode for certain mode?

Question

in my init.el file I have the following:

(global-linum-mode 1)
(add-hook 'term-mode-hook (lambda () (linum-mode))) 

However, when I enter ansi-term-mode linum mode is still on.

I have also tried

(add-hook 'ansi-term-mode-hook (lambda () (linum-mode))) 

and

(add-hook 'term-mode-hook (lambda () (linum-mode nil))) 

Does anyone have any idea how to turn off linum mode for ansi-term-mode only?

Answer 1

Refer to the duplicate question on StackOverflow:

automatically disable a global minor mode for a specific major mode

This was converted to a comment when it's a perfectly sensible answer (seeing as how we can't close for duplication across SE sites), so this text is just to prevent that from happening...

You can also do something like this:

(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook
            '(lambda ()
               (linum-mode (if (or (equal major-mode 'text-mode) (equal major-mode 'term-mode) (equal major-mode 'help-mode)) 0 1))))
