Thanks for the very quick reponse. I think you can reinstall 'bash' and 'bash-completion' packages to attempt to fix this. Also, could you take a look at the files /etc/bash.bashrc and /home/$USER/.bashrc . Towards the end of those files, there should be the following lines:
# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable # this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile # sources /etc/bash.bashrc). if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then . /etc/bash_completion fi If the three lines above are commented out in both files (they have # in front of them), or the user .bashrc file is missing, bash completion will fail. ** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- autocompletion is partly broken in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477753 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
