Ubuntu :: Bash-completion + Mount = Failure To Complete Directories?
May 27, 2011I've spent some time searching for answers to this and I haven't found much at all.Please feel free to post pointers to other threads that discuss this particular problem, if you find any.The problem is that in bash I want to mount an iso file to inspect the contents with the command:Code:sudo mount myCD.iso CDMount -o loopThe command works fine, but pressing tab to complete either the iso filename or the CDMount directory does not work. The completion suggestions I get are existing mountpoints which The completion suggestions should include the files and directories in the current directory. This worked with Ubuntu 10.04 and not with 11.04.
General :: Make Zsh Completion Behave Like Bash Completion?
Jun 2, 2010I switched to zsh, but I dislike the completion. If I have 20 files, each with a shared prefix, on pressing tab, zsh will fully complete the first file, then continue going through the list with each press of tab. If I want one near the end, I would have to press tab many times.
In bash, this was simple - press tab and I would get the prefix. If I continued typing (and pressing tab), bash would complete as far as it could be certain of. I find this behavior to be much more intuitive but prefer the other features of zsh to bash.
Is there a way to get this style of completion? Google suggested setopt bash_autolist, but this had no effect for me (and no error message was printed upon starting my shell).

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Bash Completion With Leading Wildcard?
Jul 17, 2010Out of the box, Bash in 10.04 is configured such that it won't expand/complete parameters when there's a single match for a parameter with a leading wildcard. For example, if I have the following files in a directory:
Code:
ABC.bin
DEF.bin
GHI.bin
...and I type cp *E*, I expect to be able to press TAB and have Bash expand *E* to DEF.bin, since that's the only file in the directory with a capital E in its name.
(Note: if I actually submit the command with the wildcards in place, the correct file will be used then, but I don't get to see it beforehand.) I imagine there's something in /etc/bash_completion that's preventing this from working properly. Does anyone know what it is?

General :: Handling Wordbreaks In Bash Completion?
Feb 16, 2010I am writing completion function for one PHP framework called symfony. It has command line interface with syntax:
Code:
symfony [options] [namespace:]action
I want to make action be autocompletable. The function is simplest so far:
Code:
function _symfony_commands()
{
[ -r "cache/completion/.sf" ] && cat cache/completion/.sf
}
[code]....
But, if there is : symbol which separate namespace from action problems coming:
symfony doct[TAB]
will be completed to
symfony doctrine:
But nothing happens if you want complete after : symbol. I've found out that for readline there is three words because it splits line with $COMP_WORDBREAKS
Code:
$ echo $COMP_WORDBREAKS
"'><=;|&(:
I played with $COMP_WORDS array and tried every thought I had to make it work, but failed.
What I should do to escape colon and make readline consider it as one word? Or there is way perhaps to workaround it?
Software :: Bash Hostname Completion Not Working?
Nov 25, 2009According to the Bash man pages, Quote: HOSTFILE Contains the name of a file in the same format as /etc/hosts that should be read when the shell needs to complete a hostname. The list of possible hostname completions may be changed while the shell is running; the next time hostname completion is attempted after the value is changed, bash adds the contents of the new file to the existing list. If HOSTFILE is set, but has no value, bash attempts to read /etc/hosts to obtain the list of possible hostname completions. When HOSTFILE is unset, the hostname list is cleared.
Here's the line in my .bashrc where HOSTFILE is set:
Code:
export HOSTFILE="~/.hosts"
I opened a new bash session, created ~/.hosts, filled it with the names of servers that I wanted to expand using tab completion. then typed
Code:
ssh p<tab><tab>
expecting to get a lists of all of the hosts in ~/.hosts starting with 'p'. Bash simply beeped at me twice.
I tried
Code:
$ shopt hostcomplete
hostcomplete on
Code:
ssh bchittenden@p<tab><tab>
same results.

Nov 15, 2010tab-completion indexes system folders (like /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin)! so say i'm in a folder that has two files, 'text' and 'myprog', i type in an 'm' then tab, and i get hundreds of results including 'mysql', 'mysqlconfig', and others as im sure you can imagine. is there a way to set it to default or something else that will only make it index the current folder?
i tried changing my PATH variable so i could execute programs in the current directory without './' - what i added to PATH was ':.' at the end (apparently this is not the way to do it... :S). i tried resetting PATH various times ('unset PATH', 'PATH=$whatever...') but this has not fixed the problem. using 'unset PATH', of course, removes everything from PATH, which meant that functions (like 'ls') in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin can't be found. obviously i want those to be found, but i would rather not tab through them!

Fedora Installation :: Xorg Failure On Bootup \ Can't Use Ctrl-Alt -backspace To Killl X?
Nov 6, 2010After loading all the apps I use last night with a working FC14 x86_64, I powered up this morning and nothing happened after starting atd.1 try an alternat kernel same effectstart in init 1, OK go to init 3 OKran startx .. failedlook for xorg.conf.. no fileNow if Iwas still running mandriva , I would have typed mcc and bought up the control panel so I could have sorted out the Xorg problem, or tried. There really needs to be something like this.I found that gdm was not installed so installed it.It will now boot up to the login screnn, but wont accept my passwd.restart in init 3, login as root and add another user and set the password for that user.I also rest my passwd as welll.boot up again and get authentication failure on both users, and I cant login as root as someone removed that feature.
Also I can't use Ctrl-Alt -backspace to killl X so I have access to CLI so I can login there and run startx.I suspect several gnome packages have been removed/lost as I use lefthand mouse settings and the mostsetting are back to default.All I have is a live CD to gain access to the forum, and I only have one computer.There really needs to be a fallback to one of the smalll DMs on fedora so in situations like this you are nt forced to use CLI, thats if a new user would know how to access it. As there is no bootsplash, you have to already know to hit return and wait for the bootsplash.
IMO this a is a seriouss flaw, in what otherwise is a good OS.In the meantime I'll try and install XFCE to get X running, but I will need some help getting gnome back.I'll load gnome-panel and see if yum will pick up the rest as depemdencies.I hope this isn't a bug, as to lost the DM after the first machine power cycle is fairly drastic---------- Post added at 08:52 AM GMT ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM GMT ----------I resorted to yum install gnome-*which loaded 255 packages, including gnome-desktop, gnome-common, all the gnome applettsThis wasn't just one or two packages corupted, it was removal of the DM altogetherSimilar effect to running "rm -rf gnome-* "

Slackware :: No More Xorg.conf?
Jun 2, 2010Sorry if this was well covered here when most up-to-date Slackers moved to 13.0, but I have just jumped from 12.1 to 13.1. Generally very happy that I do not have to think about xorg.conf as I always found the structure of this conf file a tad confusing. However if I do need to (for example) change my video driver (I might for example want to try the nvidia driver from NVIDIA) or configure my touchpad - how do I do this ?
I understand that xorg.conf can still be created. If I do so, do I have to put all the stuff in that used to be there or can I just add the stuff I need to make the changes I am looking for?

I did a xorg.conf using a vesa driver and kde screen output was a 1024x768 - 61hz.

Fedora Installation :: The Automake16-1.6.3-14.noarch.rpm Cannot Be Opened
Mar 14, 2009I have a server running Fedora 8 which I installed via the DVD that came with the book I am using as a learning aid. Anyway, I downloaded (via bit torrent) the Fedora 10 DVD and everything reported success, so I burned the DVD and booted the machine on which I want to install 10 (not my server).
Things were moving along fine until it started doing the actual install (partitioning etc. was complete). I had selected all three repositories. Somewhere in the middle of doing the install an error window opened with the following message "The Automake16-1.6.3-14.noarch.rpm.cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media. verify your installation source. If you exit your system will be left in an inconsistent state that will likely require reinstallation."
It then gave me the choices of rebooting or ejecting. I took reboot which left me in text mode with a limited version of GRUB. So Thinking it might be a problem with the added repos I tried again this time taking just the default repo. Then I got the same error but having a problem with authconfig-gtk-5.4.4-1.fc10.i386.rpm.I again took the reboot option it restarted from the DVD to take me to the regualr start of installation.
So that leaves me with a nicely partitioned system but I don't know how much as been installed or what do I do to get it to install. I didn't have the startup test the disk per the online instructions. So after all this I did and errors were found. I had errors on two different disks, so now I'm going to try using CDs instead.
