Could you clarify the issue for me and provide a test case? You said that "desktop users pretty much never run a login shell ever." Am I right that running gnome-terminal in Unity by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T is running a non-login shell?
I tried to clarify the summary based on this comment: "People logging in with ssh to an Ubuntu machine will get progcomp in their login shell, but not in subshells they start inside screen(1), for example." Let me know if I made a mistake. ** Summary changed: - bash programmable completion not loaded by default + bash programmable completion is not loaded in subshells when running a login shell ** Package changed: bash-completion (Ubuntu) => bash (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173728 Title: bash programmable completion is not loaded in subshells when running a login shell Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: New Status in bash package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I don't know it's bug or feature, but [TAB] autocomplete won't work with sudo on 13.04 (and 12.10 too).
