I'm not sure what you mean by 'check all drives/partitions.' The drive
where any extension would go and where the download would be is ~/.
That partition must have been working or nothing would have been
working. 

Also, I should have mentioned that today the command that generated the
error message was mkvmerge -i, but a few days ago the command that
generated the error message was a simple cd.

you did state that there is plenty of space available, but did you check
all drives/partitions?

[PLUG] Bug? with tab completion in terminal

2017-10-14 Thread John Jason Jordan 
A few days ago, while attempting to get information about a movie file
that had a long and complicated name I just typed the first couple of
letters and then hit tab. Here is an example from just now:

mkvmerge -i The_bash: cannot create temp file for
here-document: No space left on device

I had typed 'The_' before hitting tab. And, of course, there are
terabytes of free space available.

When this first occurred a few days ago I started to post a query here,
but was delayed in sending it. A few hours later I discovered that the
problem had resolved itself, so I killed the post that I was going to
send. But tonight it is back, so I probably need to solve the problem.

In case it is important, I almost always use Gnome terminal, but last
time it happened I experimented by going to a real command line
(Ctrl-Alt-F1), where the problem continued. In other words, it is
probably not Gnome terminal. 

The computer is Xubuntu 14.04, up to date.

Observations and suggestions welcome.
