Hi all,

Is there a way to increase the history in the shell? Using Up/Down keys give only limited number of previous commands.

Thanks

No, it save only the last 5 Commands.

Use Bash3

I've just tried this method, and thus is cool to have red root account doesn't solve the issue: as soon as you close the terminal the history is deleted. any suggestion?
ps: also ls --color=auto doesn't work, maybe there's something to install?

To record history you should close the shell by typing "exit" rather than by closing the window.

Commands are save in ".bash_history"

Create a blank File ( with texteditor ) and save in /home/user/.bash_history


IMHO "--color=auto" doesn't work with Bash3

Bash3 is optimized for maemo and it is compiled without "--color=auto"



Really sorry for my English

Bash3 save all Commands on close.
Never mind you close the shell. Type "exit" or push the "close-Button" or .......

solved, was a simple permission issue: running a chmod 777 .bash_history solved it all. For the ls-colors some time ago I saw a thread, but was with a .deb file. I would compile it and put on repos (if I know how.)

The color not coming is not related to bash3 but to ls itself. The ls command is mapped to busybox. Install gnu-coreutils and you can then run ls as gls.
Also you can create an alias like alias ls='gls --color=auto'

I recommend to add

PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/:/usr/local/bin:/bin

to those .bash_profile files

Ulle

P.S.:

for /root/.bash_profile add second additional line:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin
Last edited by Ulle; 2010-09-08 at 09:03. Reason: root PATH should be different
