apt-get tab from super user doesn't work

Could anybody assign this bug??? I think is really easy to solve...

Just made a simply patch to make this work... I think bash-completion should be enabled vy default also for root user.

Patch

I would vote against enabling bash completion this way for all accounts (not only for root). If you really need to work as root, I prefer to have an account that just works and does not need to have all bells and whistles switched on. The "Ubuntu way" of using root is via sudo, where bash-completion works as expected. If you want to enable it for root, just add it to roots .bashrc.

the issue still stands for me, since it works for the first command, but without the modification, it doesn't fill up follow up commands.

for example, as it is it, completes the command up until the first command (eg) sudo and after that you need to write manually (for example) apt-get install <package>

As you can imagine it trims down a lot the ability to use the terminal, which then gives a lot of pain, especially if you need to install numerous libraries for compilation purposes.

Maybe at least add, a hint, when a user tries to use that feature, to inform him whats he needs to do to activate the feature?

For developers doesn't matter how many people use root account and don't like sudo...

stimpak, why do you run sudo from a root account???

Just try to change the lines of your /etc/bash.bashrc or your /root/.bashrc file from
#if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
# . /etc/bash_completion
#fi

to

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