Do you have your terminal set to create a login shell? I noticed that /etc/profile will source /etc/profile.d/*.sh when you log in. However if you look in /etc/profile.d/, bash-completion gets installed as bash-completion and not bash-completion.sh. So it appears to never get sourced. I renamed it to bash-completion.sh and it works for me. I also set gnome-terminal to create a login shell. A login shell will source /etc/profile and /etc/bash/bashrc where as a non-login shell will only source /etc/bash/bashrc. Jim -- [email protected] mailing list
