Description Chad W. 2010-05-03 20:13:26 UTC

Version:           2.4.2 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-21-generic-pae

On a clean and updated installation of Kubuntu 8.10 I am unable to use tab completion with apt-get.

To reproduce this behavior, please open konsole and type

sudo apt-get install f

Now hit tab. you should see everything that will install that begins with the letter "f". However, if you do not, please confirm this bug.

Thank you for the report. However, this is (almost certainly) not a bug in Konsole. This is a bug in (most likely) the bash-completion package supplied by Ubuntu. I suggest reporting this to Ubuntu's bug tracker.

...unless this happens in Konsole and NOT in xterm/Gnome terminal/a tty/etc. (in which case, please re-open this report), but that seems unlikely.

p.s. You might want to first double-check that bash-completion is installed; if not, that is likely your problem.
