One way a bash_history can be created and a command saved ((crash compiz with a command running in a terminal - Same fresh A3 install Login to unity desktop, install ccsm Open a terminal and start ccsm thru it Pick any method to crash compiz - disabling and then re-enabling the unity plugin should do. After compiz crashes do a logout/in (keyboard shortcut is a good way Look in home dir. - a bash_history should be there with 1 command , - "ccsm" Open a terminal, run a command, close - it will not be added to the new ~/.bash_history -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/725327 Title: bash 4.2 does not save history (~/.bash_history -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
