True, bash is not saving the history.
Ubutu 12.04 LTS i386, up to date.
.bashrc is correct and checking HIST... variables within the terminal trough echo $HIST... gives correct results.

Workaround that worked for me: delete .bash_history.
File will be re-created on next terminal closing.

Apparently bash_history is damaged after fresh install of the system.
