I am running Ubuntu 13.10. When I log in through remote desktop and use the terminal, I cannot use the tab key to auto complete the command for items such as files/directories. The remote window manager is xfce, and the terminal shell is bash.
If I access the same box using SSH, I can use tab key to auto complete.
What is the key for auto complete command for the terminal emulator in xfce window? The regular tab key does not work.
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
However, this may not be the problem. I would make a backup of that file before you do anything else. You may also wish to restore the original default version of the file in case anything has been changed that caused this problem.
