So to be clear, the changes I'm suggesting are: * /etc/skel/.bashrc (pkg=base-files) change the progcomp check to an un-commented # enable programmable completion [[ -e /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]] && . /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh
* /etc/bash.bashrc (pkg=bash): remove the progcomp commented-out section, maybe replace with a comment like: # enable programmable completion with this line, here or (default) in ~/.bashrc # [[ -e /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]] && . /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh Root's /root/.bashrc doesn't come into play on an ubuntu system, normally. Even if you use sudo -s, HOME doesn't change, so you still get your own ~/.bashrc If you're mucking around with testing corner cases, put echo "bash_completion callstack: ${BASH_SOURCE[*]}" in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion to get output like bash_completion callstack: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh /home/peter/.bashrc Or drop that line into /etc/bash_completion.d/trace, if you don't want to modify a non-conffile. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/790043 Title: Bash-completion slows up the start of bash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/790043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
