Thanks noro.

I had to run the above from root and sure enough, they
were written into my home dir .bash_history, along
with the exit command to get back to user-space. So I
ran a series of ls's just to check but they don't
appear.

So what now?

Umm, not that I actually know anything about this, but I find it hard to
imagine that a file written by root wouldn't be owned by root and would
not exclude the user from being able to write to it.

Why did you have to create a user file as root (not saying you didn't
have to, just asking why)?

The environment variables only apply to the scope that they were set in.
When you set them as root they only applied to the root session; exiting
back to user space removed them.

You want to delete the current .bash_history file as it is probably only
writable by root.

Then set the same environment variables in your current shell and they
should stick.

When they work add them to your .bashrc file.

When I tried running HIST* etc as user I was told I
had to be root.

Nope, .bash_history completely empty after a bunch of
ls's. At least it didn't tell me to become root :o

Try exiting the session and log in again. AFAIK .bash_history doesn't
get updated until the session closes. If it does get updated in real
time, it would cause quite a bit of problem when, say, you have 5
xterms open and doing stuff in all of them, neh?

So if you do "ls -l .bash*" in your home directory, what's the output?

I haven't been following this thread, but have you tried doing set -o
history ?

[gentoo-user] still struggeling with kuser

[Uwe Thiem]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 804 bytes --]

Hi folks,

I am still struggeling with kuser as of KDE 3.4.1 crashing on start-up. 
Attached you'll find an strace of kuser. It get's interesting around line 
1773. The last system call is uname(), apparently with the right parameters. 
Uname() returns 0 which means "successful". Next thing is it gets a SIGSEGV 
(segmentation fault).

I am completely baffled why it would segfault right there. Who can shed some 
light this?

Strace outputs are quite large but tthe data in them is highly redundant, and 
they are therefore well compressible. So I dare send the whole file here as 
opposed to putting it on the web and sending a URL. ;-)

Uwe

all academic now -- the pc just died :( Not a beep, no
screen o/p. The green light on front of the box comes
on for about 1/10 sec, fan turns a few degrees and
thats IT! Tried another power supply -- no dice. Tried
bypassing the on switch -- nope. Moved RAM to another
slot -- nada. re&re'd the 3V battery -- negative. I've
never seen the like before.

Tried replacing the CPU fan?  I've seen that before - the motherboard 
detects that the CPU fan is spinning too slowly, and shuts down, 
preventing diagnosis.

Sounds like the onboard DC current stabilizers are gone... In my
experiences, it's not unusual that one of the electrolytic capacitors
is burst. Resoldering a new one is not an easy task but possible.

Speaking of dead PC, my server died today.  Either the power supply or
motherboard. R.I.P. Gentoo server.  I think I overloaded a cheap PS (I
hope).  Will find out tonight which component it is.

I apologize for the interruption, we now return to your regularly
scheduled program :)

blissfix@dayglo blissfix $ ls -l .bash*
-rw-r--r--  1 blissfix users   0 Jul  6 14:59
.bash_history
-rw-r--r--  1 blissfix users 232 Jul  2 21:12
.bash_profile
-rw-r--r--  1 blissfix users 812 Jul  2 21:12 .bashrc

Note: this .bash_history was manually created w/ nano,
whereas some hidden process created the one in root.
And if I delete the home version another doesn't pop
up on its own.

BTW, the root version of .bash_history is chockful of
retrospective goodness :). Also, each home console
session preserves a record somewhere; the up arrow can
access those. Even if I logout in and out they're
still there. It's just when rebooting the unit they
disappear. Where are they kept, I wonder.
