[Bug 1173728] Re: bash programmable completion not loaded by default

[Peter Cordes]

Is this still the case that a default install of Ubuntu doesn't enable
programmable completion out of the box?  Not much point making bash-
completion a standard-priority package if it's not enabled by default.

 my /etc/bash.bashrc still has the lines 
# if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
#    . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
# elif ...
 there but commented out (since I've had my and other users'  ~/.bashrc source it for years).

Title:
  bash programmable completion not loaded by default

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I don't know it's bug or feature, but [TAB] autocomplete won't work
  with sudo on 13.04 (and 12.10 too). To fix this, you need to uncomment
  some lines in /etc/bash.bashrc and then [TAB] autocomplete will work.
