I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and it got stuck in 1~2 seconds when I push the tab button for auto-completion.

I've been trying to resolve this problem but I couldn't make it. I even changed my computer to the new one but it has same problem.

One weird thing is that when I connect my ubuntu with ssh in other pc(using teraterm or putty or other pc's ubuntu), the problem is gone and works well.

I don't know why.. Could it be a network problem? My ubuntu pc is behind the firewall and proxy but my companies' ubuntu next to me works well.

Is there anything suspicious to you?

Here's what I've done for the problem

  • Change the computer to the new one.
  • sudo updatedb
  • sudo apt install --reinstall bash-completion

And, I followed https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/185960 method to investigate this. But, when I push the tab button after set -x, it is stuck at the first place. I mean,

$ set -x
$ ls a<tab>
# got stuck like 2~3 second
output of `set -x`

# full output when I push tab with `set -x`

Here's my pc information.

$ uname -a
Linux seongwoo 5.4.0-72-generic #80~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 12 23:26:25 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Although I'm using oh-my-zsh, it has same trouble when I exec /bin/bash.

  • Please include the first ~10 or so of the lines of set -x output so we can see whether those are normal at least Jun 9, 2021 at 0:53
