Hello, I am using ubuntu 9.04 and I did the change as gjzeus suggested: $ diff /etc/bash_completion /etc/bash_completion.backup 3171c3171 complete -F _cd $nospace cd --- complete -F _cd $nospace $filenames cd The problem reported here is solved but I observed a I found a side effect when cd is used to navigate through a chain of directories that just contain one directory. Lets say I have the following structure: example$ tree . `-- levelOne `-- levelTwo `-- levelThree Beofre this change if it was typed: example$ cd level [tab][tab][tab] the command was expanded itself by the shell (only if there was a single directory in the current directory) With this change, when tab is pressed it just displays the name of the directory that is in the current directory instead of auto completing the command: example$ cd levelOne [tab] levelOne Do you observe this behaviour as well?

[Bug 177243] Re: Bash command completion puts backslash in front of beginning dollar sign
The backslash is gone in karmic, but the behavior is not fixed. With the karmic (and upstream debian) bash-completion package, environment variables still do not expand. $ cd $HOMEtab $HOME As others have noted, simply removing $filenames breaks the expansion. For me, the behavior of $dirnames in its place is at least tolerable (you must type a slash in order to get the path to expand). I would consider this bug still open.

Yes. I think it's bug of bash_completion in /etc. If you turn it off in your .bashrc, no this problem. Once you turn it on, it happens. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy on Dell XPS M1530. I fix this one by editing this file.
