For a single session, I type:

. /etc/bash_completion

For activating it by default, edit .bashrc at the top of your home 
directory (note it's a hidden file). You may find references to that 
script, uncomment from the ligne "if [...]" to "fi" included.

If not found, add these:

if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
     . /etc/bash_completion
fi

Changes will take effect at next opened terminal.

These are the rules, call the bash_completion script to invoke them.
