[Bug 1162637] Re: command completion

[Norbert]

I tested it more accurate on Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04.

1. If I'm on VT1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) bash-completion works as expected - it normally complete (with and without sudo):
* apt-get <Space>, <Tab> with
          autoclean' check ... (and all other variants)
* apt-cache <Space>, <Tab> with
         add dump ... (and all other variants)
* aptitude <Space>, <Tab> with
         add-user-tag forbid-version ... (and all other variants)
* dpkg <Space>, <Tab> with
        --abort-after --no-debsig ... (and all other variants)
* dpkg-reconfigure xorg <Space>, <Tab> with
        xorg xorg-docs-core

2. If I'm on gnome-terminal or xterm in graphic session (for example,
Unity1) all these options do not work.

Bash-completion functionality is a very often used functionality, so
please fix this bug.
