View 1 Replies View RelatedFirefox "preferences" has an option which say, "keep my history for at least --- days".This does not make sense. If I enter 10 days, it will keep my history for 10 days or 1000 days. If I ener 100 days, it will keep my history for 100 days or 1000 days.ame thing!!Shouldn't it say, "keep my history for no longer than --- days"?I just set mine to 14 days and I still have a month of history.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI noticed a few days ago, that history feature is not working on my ubuntu 10.10 notebook edition terminal. I mean I enter a bunch of commands today and then shut down. Come back again tomorrow and turn on the machine and open the terminal, but up and down arrows won't bring any old commands that I used today.

Commands like
Code:
ls
cd /usr/local
emacs test.txt
which are logged in the log file.
I've just installed Slackware 13.1 and am using a VESA framebuffer on a dv5-1251nr HP laptop with standard hardware.
In bash when I browse the command history using the up/down arrow keys the input line changes rather slowly.
For example, when I am on the history command
Code:
And the next command I go to is
Code:
The terminal input line deletes each character from the beginning and changes something like this:
Code:
But going the opposite direction, from
Code:
To
Code:
Is instant.
The effect does not happen with VESA turned off. I've used VESA on other computers without this problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI sometimes stick my neck out and provide somewhat detailed, and often risky, "Mr-fix-it" remedies for boot problems. Now, I know it's possible to amend each command with "whatever_command > whatever.txt" in which case it'll place the command output in a file in /home.
But if you're directing someone to run a lot of commands as I did here is it possible to save the output of all commands to a .txt file without amending each command?
Or is it already saved somewhere that I'm not yet aware of? I wouldn't be surprised if the latter were true, I just haven't yet found it

Code:
streamer -q -c /dev/video0 -f rgb24 -r 24 -t 00:30:00 -o /home/shark/untitled.avi
I know I can use other applications but I have got problems with all except with this. This is really annoying because it is a delay job. So, I am wondering how can I make a script that the terminal will ask me to name the file or even better to ask where to put my file.
