[SOLVED] sudo pacman - bash-completion

Radioactiveman · 2010-06-05 12:53:12

I'm using bash as shell and have a problem:
Bash-completion doesn't work with sudo and pacman.
sudo with other apps works fine, also pacman without sudo.
Zsh does autocomplete with sudo but I don't want to use Zsh.

part of my .bashrc file

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

complete -cf sudo

Is this 'bug' known or should I make a bugreport? If yes, is it a bug of sudo, pacman or bash?

Why did you use

Isn't there already a completion function defined and assigned inside /etc/bash_completion to handle sudo and other similar commands (_root_command)?

@ ber_t: Thanks, removing this line solved the problem.

Maybe someone should update the wiki page of sudo ...
