thanks mika / adw - i've been fighting this for a while. in 7.10 i got around it by selectively enabling completion, but this is a whole lot nicer. but then 8.04 broke my work-around. once i narrowed it down to the failglob shopt i found your page. i just applied the patches and things are working much nicer.
for the sake of anyone googling, i was seeing: i would type: sudo apt-get <TAB> and i'd see: sudo apt-get bash: no match: COMP_WORDS[2-1] the patches above fix it for me. is there an easy way to "force" a completion, eg so that i could run it with a -x option or with bashdb ? i'm sure i'll find a few more of these problems :) -- error message when no completions and failglob is on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194419 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
