The command history between sessions is not getting saved. I'm using guake and the history for the session is working fine.
I noticed that .bash_history had some commands I executed in sudo -s
mode and tried the same again and all the commands while in the session got saved so I tried:
chmod 777 .bash_history
Now the old commands appear at the start of a session but no new commands are getting saved.
~/.bash_history
gets written when you log out (to reach the newer commands you can use thehistory
command). But i fail to see the problem too..
