My bash autocompletion recently stopped working. So trying to do things like cd ~/Ubuntu\ One/
by typing cd ~/Ubu[tab] would not work properly. The escaped space would be stripped out; the directory would not be recognized as such, so the trailing slash would be removed; and to make matters still worse, an extra space would be appended to the path, so that if you really wanted a subdirectory, then you'd have to edit the command line. Needless to say, this was very annoying, but I lived with it for a while because I didn't have time to look into it. I found out that Adobe Acrobat may be the culprit. For me, I definitely fixed the problem by removing /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh There is some debate about it, and it's possible that there is a bug in the underlying auto_complete project. Anyone with expertise in bash readline etc. care to chime in? http://equality-tech.com/content/adobe-acrobat-fault Greg Rundlett _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
