True, bash is not saving the history. Ubutu 12.04 LTS i386, up to date. .bashrc is correct and checking HIST... variables within the terminal trough echo $HIST... gives correct results.
Workaround that worked for me: delete .bash_history. File will be re-created on next terminal closing. Apparently bash_history is damaged after fresh install of the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005601 Title: bash history is not getting saved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1005601/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
