gnome-applet-vm is not the correct component, please re-assign

Comment 2 Karel Zak 2013-11-01 11:35:26 UTC

Oh, it's probably because the current session is still running and shell does not save the history yet. Don't forget that su(1) starts a new session, but does not end the previous -- see for example "ps auf".

Anyway, it's not related to su(1). Re-assigning.

> still occurs with f20-final-TC1

Still persists in f20-final-TC5.
Really a big problem for those who used to using "up"+"down" keys,or "hostory"command ,or"ctrl+r".
It seems that the system try to remember things optionally,
for example, if I do "yum install xchat",and "yum install libvirt",it may only
able to remember doing "yum install xchat" after "su"

Hi, and thanks for the report.
I'd like to see your results of the "printenv" command (when logged in as root, ofc).

Sorry for the late reply.

There are two things affecting this behaviour.
Firstly, make sure "shopt -o histappend" is somewhere in one of your bashrc files (though it should be on by default)
the behaviour you want can then be achieved by doing this (again, best to have it in your rc files somewhere):
# PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'

With this set, do you still experience the problem?
