Bash Scrollback Buffer

[ronvenema]

Anybody know how to increase the size of the scrollback buffer, ie, in a console when you use Shift+Page Up the screen will scroll back several pages if the buffer size is set correctly. Currently it will only scroll back a few lines.

TIA
Ron

You can define the number of lines bash keeps in the memory with your '.Xdefaults' file. Depending on your terminal emulator (aterm, xterm, gnome-terminal etc.) put/change this line according to your terminal.

Example:

Thanks baeksu, but I'm looking to increase the scrollback in a console, not a term.

/me is interested, too...

its not really bash you need to look at, its agetty that's the issue, as it keeps track of the console buffer (i believe...)

agetty is in util-linux, but i don't know much more then that.
