[Bug 742041] Re: autocompletion fails to work entirely for some commands (e.g. mount)

[Daniel Smedegaard Buus]

I'd like to point to the *original* poster's (i.e. Ngassam's)
description of the issue. 769866 is not the same issue.

The issue at hand here is that some commands (e.g. the mount command)
fail autocompletion when prefixed with sudo. Using "mount" as regular
user will autocomplete on tabbing in order to find source device and
mount target folder paths. Same applies if logged in as root. When
prefixing "sudo" tab path autocompletion stops working.

This applies to Oneiric and Natty, in X sessions, TTYs and SSH. Not sure
if it applied to Maverick -- AFAIR it didn't.

Title:
  autocompletion fails to work entirely for some commands (e.g. mount)

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash

  not tab completion when providing a file we want to work with.

  here is what I mean :

  natty at natty-PCV-RSM22-CE:~/Documents$ sudo mount -o loop natty-
  alternate-i386.iso  /cdrom

  I had to manually add "natty-alternate-i386.iso " and cdrom . It was
  not the case in the past.

  This is regression for the bash's behavior
