Installing LFS-6.4 and since my last bash, something has obviously
changed with auto completion.
The problem is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm seeing the same problem with bash-3.2 and bash-4.0 when installing
the new system, but my previous LFS system, from 2006, which also has
bash-3.2.39, doesn't have this problem.
F.ex:
If I do
tar -zxf file-4.26.tar.gz
..then I have one file and one directory named:
file-4.26.tar.gz
file-4.26/
If I try to cd into this directory:
cd file TAB
..it auto completes the filename.
It doesn't even see the directory.
If I do:
cd file* TAB
..it lists both the directory and the file, but if I want to the enter
the directory, I have to write the complete directory and hit enter.
It's really, really weird and it doesn't always happen, just with some
files/directories.
I've made sure I don't have any programmable completions:
complete -r
..so "complete" returns nothing
This is the output of ''bind -v''
set bind-tty-special-chars on

set enable-keypad off

set history-preserve-point off
set horizontal-scroll-mode off

set meta-flag on

set prefer-visible-bell on
set print-completions-horizontally off
set revert-all-at-newline off
set show-all-if-ambiguous off
set show-all-if-unmodified off
set visible-stats off
set bell-style none
set comment-begin #
set completion-prefix-display-length 0
set completion-query-items 100
set editing-mode emacs
set history-size 500
set keymap emacs
I have not installed any other packages than what are listed in the
6.4 book, except bash-4.0 and readline-6.0.
The reason for upgrading to bash-4 and readline-6 was that I also saw
this in bash-3.2.
This is very frustrating, cause it makes it impossible to work with.
Anyone seen this problem?.
