upgrading xubuntu to 24.04, fresh install, but I’d like to copy the output of both dpkg -l and history to a usb stick.
About history: will it copy all commands I executed on all tabs? I work with several tabs simultaneously.
ETA: thank you for all your input, problem has been solved.
I’m pretty sure the history command outputs only commands from the shell/tab it’s invoked in plus the commands already saved to the shells history file. Commands are not always saved to the file immediately. So to make 100% sure, you have to clean exit all shells before using history.
You can easily test this by using a unique command (like: echo 123) in one shell and history in another.
Also the shell probably has a man page detailing config options that affect the history.
