I was also affected by this problem but was able to fix it when I removed the bash_completion line from my ~/.bashrc
It turns out that the bash_completion script was sourced twice: once in /etc/bash.bashrc and once in ~/.bashrc I commented it out in ~/.bashrc and left it enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and now it works fine. So it looks like the real problem is that the script is not idempotent (cannot be sourced more than once). ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => bash Status: New => Confirmed -- .bashrc not executed to the end https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
