Since the problem does not appear under X, bash is not broken and you |
| 31 |
probably have a mis-configuration somehow. The rc scripts that are |
| 32 |
run are sensitive to the nature of the |
| 33 |
session. Your console login is a "interactive login shell", while |
| 34 |
under X it's merely a |
| 35 |
"interactive shell". You might want to track down the scripts that |
| 36 |
run in the two situations. |
| 37 |
My first guess would be that your ~/.bashrc sets up completion, but |
| 38 |
that file is not called |
| 39 |
from /etc/profile. If that's not it you have some debugging to do. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
When I have to do something like that, I pepper all of the rc scripts |
| 42 |
with lines like |
| 43 |
[ -e /etc/conf.d/DEBUG ] && echo "~$USER/.bashrc: \$-='$-'"\ |
| 44 |
(modify according to what info you want and what script it's in) then |
| 45 |
touch or rm the file |
| 46 |
/etc/conf.d/DEBUG. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Don't forget to include system scripts like /etc/profile and anything |
| 49 |
else mentioned in |
| 50 |
the man page (INVOCATION section). |
