[gentoo-user] bash completion for paths not working

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   On one machine of mine, and only one machine, bash completion is
not working for my user account when I try to complete a path. I hit
tab and nothing happens. Bash completion is working for files though.
I can do bash completion in my home directory and get a list of files,
but if I try to complete /usr/sr  but hitting a tab it just sits and
does nothing.

   It works fine for root.

   What turns this feature on for a user? I copied a good .bashrc file
from a working machine over and logged back into the bad machine but
that didn't fix it.

   man bash makes it look like it should be on by default.

  Thanks for the unix lesson.

Cheers,
Mark
