[Bug 549521] Re: terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo
Here is how to get autocomplete to work in the Terminal while using "sudo". Simply open the ".bashrc" hidden file from your home folder. sudo gedit ~/.bashrc Then paste this at the bottom of the file: if [ "$PS1" ]; then complete -cf sudo fi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549521 Title: terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/549521/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A brainstorm poll seems the way to go. If many people in interested in this feature, it will call the attention of developers and somebody will change the default option. I'm marking this bug as invalid because is not an error but a feature.

[Bug 549521] Re: terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo
So... since you guys and I myself considered this "option" as a regression from older Ubuntuversions, but it seems like it is an option, I'm not quite sure what to do now. Open up a brainstorm poll or mark this as "won't fix" or "fix released" or "opinion"?

Actually I don't know how the bash config is set up with a vanilla Lucid Lynx, but changing my config according to the solution mentioned in the bugreport you linked, restored the bash - behavior I was used to (i.e. completion working even after sudo) - Thanx Gilbert. I don't understand why this is an opt-in in Lucid. It seems like so a perfectly useful tool, and I could not think of a reason how this could be harmful even to a person using ubuntu/linux for the first time ;) -- terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549521 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
[Bug 549521] Re: terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo
Apparently the auto completion after a sudo in Lucid is an option left to the user whether to enabled it or not. By default the final release sets the auto completion off so it is up to you to enable it as pointed out in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/477753 I did not have the chance to try it yet as I'm using Karmic right now but if someone manages to get a result it would be nice to update the rest of us here. -- terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549521 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

I have just made a fresh install of Lucid (not beta) and this bug still exists. As osfight said, this is very very annoying as I use auto- completion all the time. -- terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549521 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
[Bug 549521] Re: terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo
is there any workaround for that so far? This is a really annoying bug (as many many other :). It obviously only happens with a fresh install of 10.4, after an upgrade, the autocomplete still worked. -- terminal in Lucid Beta lacks auto-completion after sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549521 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
