Tab completion for commands

Aptitude command is missing from Ubuntu 10.10. I just installed it using apt-get install aptitude but it doesn't support autocompletion as it was doing in the previous version of Ubuntu. And as a relatively new user i find aptitude with autocompletion of packages names is way easier to use. So how to bring autocompletion back to aptitude on 10.10

    Hm, works for me. Do you have the package 'bash-completion' installed? Do you have a file '/etc/bash_completion.d/aptitude'?

  • @ htroque : I have the package installed and the file is present. The solution below worked very good.

If you just install it maybe you just need to make aptitude aware of the existing packages (by an sudo aptitude update) and restart your terminal. You can also try : sudo dpkg-reconfigure bash-completion.
