[Bug 442827] New: Tilde expansion for partial usernames in the bash shell no longer works
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442827 Summary: Tilde expansion for partial usernames in the bash shell no longer works Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mlatimer@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-NTS Services Priority: 600 In previous versions of openSUSE and SLES, the bash shell allowed for tilde expansion in the following manner: # cd ~user[TAB] would auto-complete to: # cd ~username In openSUSE 11.1 (beta4), `cd ~` will move you to your home directory, but `cd ~user[TAB]` will not automatically complete based on valid usernames. This is a small feature, but one that I found quite useful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Deinstall the package bash-completion.
Thanks for the tip. That does resolve this issue. I realize that some people might not want this type of tilde expansion, but other people are used to it (and like it). I'm sure there is some way to customize the bash-completion scripts to accomplish this same thing, but I could not find that documented anywhere. Do you know how to accomplish this? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
