[1.6.1][Bug] Broken bash history and inconsistent locale/date format in SSH

[nephthys]

Hi,

I just did a clean install of ZimaOS 1.6.1, I enabled SSH and I noticed two things:

• The bash command history doesn't work by default, even though I've seen that there's code for it in /DATA/.bashrc ("Configures command history" "HISTSIZE=1000" "HISTFILESIZE=2000" "HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth" "shopt -s histappend")

To make this work, I had to create ~/.bash_history (which didn't exist by default) and modify ~/.bash_profile:

touch ~/.bash_history
chmod 600 ~/.bash_history
export HISTFILE=~/.bash_history
PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; $PROMPT_COMMAND"

• Finally, the language and date format of the ZimaOS interface aren't the same over SSH. I set the language to English US, time format to 24 hours & timezone to Europe/Paris in the ZimaOS settings, and I get this in SSH:

date
Tue Apr 28 12:39:50 PM CEST 2026

The only solution found was to create a date alias because the locale-gen command doesn't exist, and changing the LANG and LC_TIME variables has no effect.

Thanks anyway for your hard work on ZimaOS (it's improved a lot since the last time I tried it) ;)
