try putting something like this in ~/.bashrc

echo "sourcing /etc/bash_completion"
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
    source /etc/bash_completion
fi
echo "sourced /etc/bash_completion"


Then open a new terminal window/tab and see what you get.  You should
see the output of the two echo's and you should have bash completion.



I also recommend renaming /etc/profile.d/bash-completion to
/etc/profile.d/bash-completion.sh so it gets picked up by /etc/profile.
