[Bug 819799] Re: persistent live usb does not save browser history

[Paolo Sammicheli]

I've figure out this problem.

 This should be a side effect of bug #819609; Live CD boots at login
screen and for logging in you should have selected the "guest user" in
lightDM. But guest user doesn't store its home in the proper directory
but under /tmp and it will be erased every logout. Fixing bug #819609
this problem should be fixed as well because then you will log in with
the ubuntu user and you will have everything in the /home/ubuntu
directory. For checking this, if you from a textual tty try to write an
empty file in /home/ubuntu and then reboot you will find that file
again.

Thanks for you help!

  on my PC that is 64 bit I have this problem:

  When rebooting (I have to reboot from command line as reboot menu item does not work, see Bug #819773) firefox's history is not saved.
  I rebooted first time with reboot and second time with shutdown -r now (from command line using CTRL+ALT+F1).
