I'm going to leave this open for those that are wondering what's changed and how to get a ~/.bash_history created and written to
With bash 4.2 you need to use an exit command when closing a terminal, if you do so it will then write to your history As relayed by chet ramey - > One thing that has changed is that an interactive shell will no longer > attempt to write the history file if it's killed by a signal, since that > causes many functions to be executed that are not safe to call from a > signal handler. If you're in the habit of trying to exit the shell by > closing the terminal window, which causes the shell to be killed by SIGHUP > (I think, maybe SIGTERM), the history will not be saved. > > Chet -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
