Type bash on the $ and you will get another prompt and history will be there (albeit showing only the bash history and not what was executed on the $ you have now).

dash does not have history so ... that topic to me(!) is a bug: setting up a 2nd user should have it use bash as default :P
When you drop to the terminal (via Applications -> Terminal or Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc.) bash is used by default to interpret your commands. If you wish to use another command interpreter (like zsh or fish), how do you get this to start as default?

I'd like to have our LoCo team (Austrian LoCo) fully integrated into Ask Ubuntu.
Now the question or idea I had is, what would be the policy on questions written in German and translated into English by our LoCo and possibly other german speaking Ask Ubuntu members (only if they want to help wit...
@OctavianDamiean Basically, though I was going to say, someone posts a question in english, he gets a few snide comments, somone else translates it, the person never comes back again :P
@OctavianDamiean I had the same idea the other day when a spanish q got closed: why not have a user setting where we can set all languages we speak and read and have askubuntu filter on tjhose settings.
@OctavianDamiean I don't think we'll get new features into the site for this. It's something the people at SE are thinking about constantly, they'll want to do their own thing. But you could set up a translation queue sort of thing at the loco's site
I would have no problem with people just posting questions in German, though I guess if we started to endorse this kind of thing, it may turn into a big problem some day
@Rinzwind yeah, but the page is going to be created by a program, so I'd like the semantic structure of the markup to be as straightforward as possible
I'm hoping there's a way to do it without changing the markup
I used to access a remote system via VNC viewer, but when i copy some text from remote system and paste in my text editor(local system), nothing happens. Do i need to install any additional packages to achieve this task?
I have some problem getting dual monitor display using an ASUS board. It used to work flawlessly using the proprietary driver (NVidia-based), but installing it under 11.04 only makes one monitor working, and it cannot seem to detect the second one.

@GeorgeEdison @TheX The idea is to produce a CD and a DVD. The CD would just be an installer (without everything in it- just the basics), and the DVD would be a fully stocked Desktop with everything in it.

In Compiz-based Unity, are there any pre-defined shortcuts, e.g. to open the dash or unhide the launcher?
