Could you clarify the issue for me and provide a test case? You said that "desktop users pretty much never run a login shell ever." Am I right that running gnome-terminal in Unity by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T is running a non-login shell?
I tried to clarify the summary based on this comment: "People logging in with ssh to an Ubuntu machine will get progcomp in their login shell, but not in subshells they start inside screen(1), for example." Let me know if I made a mistake. ** Summary changed: - bash programmable completion not loaded by default + bash programmable completion is not loaded in subshells when running a login shell ** Package changed: bash-completion (Ubuntu) => bash (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173728 Title: bash programmable completion is not loaded in subshells when running a login shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1173728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
