I think this is related to a bug with /etc/bash_completion. I set export BASH_COMPLETION_DEBUG=1 in my ~/.bashrc and this is what I see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ . .bashrc # Alter the following to reflect the location of this file. # { # These declarations must go within braces in order to be able to silence # readonly variable errors. BASH_COMPLETION="${BASH_COMPLETION:-/etc/bash_completion}" BASH_COMPLETION_DIR="${BASH_COMPLETION_DIR:=/etc/bash_completion.d}" } 2>/dev/null || : If I remove the 2>/dev/null, I see this error: bash: BASH_COMPLETION: readonly variable It appears that bash is dying on this line and not executing any commands which occur after it. Temp fix is to remove sourcing of /etc/bash_completion from your ~/.bashrc -- .profile not sourced anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
