Version: 2.1 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-10-generic For some reasons Konsole does not keep memory of command lines used though memory history size is set to 1000 lines not even in the same KDE sessions ! It has been like this since I installed Intrepid but it was the same on KDE4 konsole used on Hardy for a while. Regards.
Do you mean the bash history? The konsole history size is not the bash history and it is not remembered between sessions.
I mean when you open a konsole with KDE you are supposed to be able to use commands that have been memorized (by default 1000 lines) by using up arrow key ! ; what else can it be as George would say ! ; that during a session and between session ; this is supposed to parametrized with a menu option history -> option -> choice between none | in number of lines | no limit This was working on KDE 3 and is not on KDE 4 on Hardy or Intrepid. Regards.
Hello, The scrollback size as specified through the menu in Konsole is not about the number of commands which are remembered when you press the Up/Down arrow - it is about the number of lines of history which you can scroll through using the scroll-bar on the side of the display. The size of your 'command history' is a property of the shell (the program which draws the prompt), which is probably 'bash'.
Robert to finish off this can you tell me where this is set ti get commands memorized. Thanks.
sorry for my questions actually on bash related to system variables that are supposed to be set for bash and that actally were set by default ; as apparently this problem appears to concern other people I have a little bit investigated why it did not work : I found that my file ".bash_history" was root.root and of course could not be of any use for me as user as could ne be opened and overwritten ; I have changed this in root mode to fix it and I did much more in affecting all that is in my $HOME with my_login.my_group ; a few other things have changed : for example I have music now when KDE opens ; some errors messages when opening some apps in a konsole have disappeared ; it looks like the origin of this problem may be linked to some action done in sudo mode but I am not sure because otherwise I do not see what can change properties of some of my files from my_login.my_group to root.root. Regards.
