Loading /etc/bash_completion takes 3 seconds on my Alix-based system (which has an AMD Geode 500 MHz CPU).
Bash completions are loaded in a number of places including via /etc/profile. A non-invasive way to disable this is to add BASH_COMPLETION=1 to the start of /etc/profile. /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh will only load /etc/bash_completion if BASH_COMPLETION is the empty string. If you get an error: sed: can't read 1: No such file or directory Then something else is still trying to load /etc/bash_completion. In my base, this was ~/.bashrc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384017 Title: Loading /etc/bash_completion is slow -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
