Jim, Thanks for your bug report :) I tend to agree with you.
It looks like the proper place to set this would be in /etc/skel/.bashrc which is part of the bash package. I'm attaching a patch to set the history to 2500 which seems like it should be large enough for the vast majority of users. I also updated the comment. ** Patch added: "Patch to set a higher defaut Bash history size." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41668600/bashrc_more_hist.diff -- Bash $HISTFILESIZE seems far too small by default. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544542 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
