So: In 11.3 this will be solved. To fix it in 11.2, install bash-completion and add the lines I mentioned to profile.local. This completion will work, and you'll get a whole bunch of completions, you don't imagine them yet. You'll probably keep that package in 11.3 even if this issue is corrected. Some examples (i.e. bash-completion ad :-)): okular <TAB> Lists/completes all files in current directory that okular can open. make <TAB> Lists/completes all targets in the makefile configure --<TAB> List/completes configure options. gcc --<TAB> List/completes gcc options. man <TAB> List/completes man pages.

If you don't have the file /etc/bash_completion, this means that you haven't installed the package "bash-completion". That package provides an alternative completion to bash, much more powerful than the default one.

However, this issue should be reported to the bash developers if it is still an issue in the latest bash. I'll try to package a newer bash and reproduce the bug. I will reply again to this bug when I have news.

Thanks for the report!

Sorry - I did not find any package bash-completion for openSUSE 11.2 can you help me ? TIA Winfrid -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
