[SOLVED] Slight issue concerning pacman & bash completion

Hi all,
I've come across a small issue when using the -Rs option with pacman.
The auto completion doesn't appear to be working for the first package name passed after the -Rs option.
For example, when issuing the command
pacman -Rs firefox
and pressing tab twice, it will not show any options or auto-complete. However, if I add another package to be removed:
pacman -Rs firefox chr
and hit the tab key twice, autocomplete will work, and it'll autocomplete to chromium.
Bash-completion (2.0-3) is installed, and the rest of the system is up to date. Am I missing something here, or have I stumbled upon a bug?

I don't know so much about it, but I'm under the impression that bash-completion for pacman (once enabled in ~/.bashrc by adding "complete -cf pacman") works by default by checking the user's PATH variable, i.e. it will offer to complete pacman commands with the name of any executable in the user's PATH's () as well as the contents of the current directory. ... which means: if firefox isn't installed, it won't find it; if it is, it will offer this completion; if there's a file called firefox in the current directory, it will also offer it.
but as I said, I'm not an expert on bash-completion

[SOLVED] Page down/Page up bash completion.

In gentoo, bash has a feature when i press page down or page up with an incomplete command written. It completes the command writing based in history.
For example:
[frost@euclides] ~ $ c
[frost@euclides] ~ $ cd
With page up i can switch between c, cd, cat, etc.
But apparently it behaves different in arch.
How can i enable this funcionality in arch?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, that's not what you are asking...
try adding the following to /etc/iputrc
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward
comment out the existing vlaues. I hope this helps.

The system is set up to backup files to the iCloud at the end of the day. This has ot happen for sometime now and the mesaage I get is the back up error.

Bash-completion upgrade conflicts with pacman

pacman warned me that /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg would be overwritten.
pacman -Oo said then that it's part of bash-completion 1.99-1, but there's already bash-completion 1.99-2 that hasn't any more included that file cause now as it seems, the file move into the new pacman package.
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … 50dbc12ba0
So following process to not corrupt anything:
1) Move the file out of the way:
# mv /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg.bak
2) Upgrade pacman
# pacman -S pacman
3) Upgrade bash-completion (this step will remove the file)
# pacman -S bash-completion
4) Reinstall pacman again, to not loose the file.
# pacman -S pacman
5) Now, you can remove the backup.
# rm -f /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg.bak

Did you source it or logout/login? It doesn't magically do that itself.

both, i reload it with source ~/.bashrc and later i logged out/in

Bash completion upgrade breaks pacman bc

hello,
today's bash completion upgrade deletes the archlinux file under /etc/bash_completion.d/.
pacman's bash completion doesn't work anymore. i've seen that pacman 3.1 has it's own bash completion file.
is this somehow related?

ps: i'm not using testing.

How does it work? i have installed it but pacman -S gnome-pane does not give gnome-panel

_Gandalf_ wrote:I know why now, Actually i'm trying to do as regular user, as root it works fine, i can't do it even with prefixing it with sudo since the auto completion has not entered the sudo envirement yet (no Enter pressed)
Well on my desktop I don't need to be root (and I don't see the point to be root if you are just looking for a package with -Ss)
Edit: The update of bash-completion seemed to fix everything

The "edit in" menu is completely inactive. All plug-ins are visible but in light grey; i.e. not accessible. Any idea how to solve the issue? Fyi: I am using LR 5.7.1 on MacBook with Mawericks.

Jim, that sounds like a good hypothesis. Yes, I am using smart previews. I have my originals on an external drive which is connected. Still, LR can not find them. Do you know how to tell LR where to find the originals? I would like LR to identify the source automatically: if external drive is connected LR should show "original and smart preview" not only "smart preview". Thanks for your help.

[SOLVED] tmux bash completion

Hey,
Looking through internet, I didn't find any solution. I want to be able to hit Tab on a terminal to complete my commands, like I do a million times a day.
Except it doesn't work on tmux, Tab just does nothing at all.
Here is my tmux.conf :

[SOLVED] Make Bash Completion Error (Command Not Found)

When attempting to tab complete the `make` command, I am met with the following when I hit tab:
$ make s[tab]bash: 23:set: command not found
Strangely, if I continue hitting tab, it seems to work eventually, but with the same error popping up:
$ make s[tab]bash: 23:set: command not found
ched.[tab]bash: 23:set: command not found
[tab]bash: 23:set: command not found
sched.1.gz sched.tar.gz
$ make sched.
I've never seen anything like this. I've tried reinstalling bash completion and make to no success. The Makefile itself is fine and functional. Other programs' bash completions seem to work just fine. Help!
Last edited by goakley (2014-03-23 13:56:50)

It seems the problem no longer occurs. The only change that seems to have happened is a bash-completion upgrade that happened yesterday. I'm a bit disappointed to have not found the actual issue.

Bash-completion issues after bash upgrade

Hi.
Is it only me or bash-completion stopped working after bash upgrade (3.2.017-2 -> 3.2.025-1)?
I also had to remove ". /etc/profile" from all existing .bashrc files to have it properly interpreting /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d/* files,
which was fine with previous bash version. Probably that line was not needed anyway, but for sure the behavior of bash has changed.
And bash-completion doesn't work anymore at all.
bash-completion looks like it has been updated too, but it still doesn't work properly.
I have: core/bash-3.2.025-1 and extra/bash-completion-20060301-7.
"Not working properly" means that when I press the tab it does just a normal completion. Without respecting the type of a command for which I am completing the argument.
It used to complete only media files for 'mplayer', only directory names for 'cd' etc. And now it tries to complete every file present in the directory.
Hmm... I guess that '. /etc/profile' line was needed after all. When I re-added it it started working again. Though /etc/skel/.bashrc file does not have this line.
When I use the skeleton version of .bashrc, bash-completion doesn't work.

Problem with ssh and bash-completion

I and a co-worker are having a weird problem with ssh and bash-completion. We have a local config in .ssh/config with hosts we connect everyday. An example:
host foo
hostname foo.org
user foobar
host foobar
hostname foobar.org
user foobar
When we try to type
ssh foo<tab><tab>b<tab>
the console just freeze and we can't type anything, everything we type is ignored, but after about 30 seconds the host is completed.
This works a some time ago, so some upgrade make this happen. Anyone can reproduce this?

This is the same test as was used in bash-completion 1.1.
Thanks quigybo, I use your patch, the issue is gone
Why does so many packages depends on Avahi? Maybe make it optdepends is
enough?
my laptop $ pacman -Qi avahi

My toolbar is missing and there is a button where it used to be that says "Please re-install the Toolbar" but when I click on it nothing happens? Also when I start Firefox I get a script running error how do I solve these issues?

My toolbar is missing and there is a button at the top left that asks me to "Please re-install the Toolbar" but when I click on it nothing happens???
Then when I start Mozilla I get a long delay before it launches and a script running error "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595"
How do I solve these issues???

No idea - and you provide no clues
what version of iPHoto do you have? Of the OS? is the iPhoto icon you are speaking of in the Dock?
re-read your post and try to provide information using standard Mac terms since we can not see you or your computer and only have your worrds to let us try to help you
Somehow my "IPhoto" icon now says "Preview". When I click on "Preview" nothing opens up except the bar says Preview. When I click on the Preview on the bar, a box opens up with different items, except when I click on any of them, there is nothing there. The only thing that work is the "quit preview". However, it is still there where my IPhoto icon should be. I can't get into my IPhoto. How do I get rid of this "Preview" and how did it end up taking over the IPhoto icon???
If you go to your Applications folder and double click on iPhoto what happen?

My HP Officejet 6500 E710 is on, but my PC shows off. How do I solve this issue?

My computer shows my printer is off, I am using wireless. However, my printer is on, and I did not find my device in th printer. When I want to print or scan, sometimes it works but somtimes it doesn't. How do I sovle this problem?

Hello @Kelly45!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see your printer is showing offline when it is in fact online. The first thing I suggest is to remove the power from the printer and the router and restart the computer. After 20 seconds plug the router and printer back in and see if you still experience the issue. I also suggest moving the router or printer so they are 5-10 feet apart. Too close and too far away may cause odd connection issues. You will also want to ensure the router is not next to speakers or a TV. Other electronics can effect Wi-Fi signal as well.
If you are still experiencing the issue then it may be software related. I recommend uninstalling the HP software. After the uninstall is complete it would be a good idea to perform a disk cleanup in the computer. A disk cleanup will improve computer performance and clear temporary files that may cause issues during the install of software. Once the disk cleanup is complete you should restart the computer and re-install the HP software.

Bash-completion for archlinux (ready for testing)

EDIT (20031013): new url & version 1.0 is out
Hello all,
I've created a bash-completion script for AL.
Get it from :
http://www.kegep.tuc.gr/~manolis/archli … ion.script
Then :
pacman -S bash-completion
copy my script as /etc/bash_completion.d/archlinux
source /etc/profile
or log out & back in to enable auto-completion.
Then simply try pacman -S [tab] to check it.
So far it auto-completes the init scripts (try /etc/rc.d/network [tab]...), makepkg & pacman.
Please test it & report any problems or suggestions so that it could get included in the bash-completion pkg.

I begin to feel like a dot in pacman .
sud_crow wrote:Can you post some explination about its use?? what it does exactly (i know what auto-completions is, but, what auto-completes and how?)
Auto-completion is the best thing since fresh bread . You already use it, when you press [tab] or (ie pac[tab]) and it completes the rest of the word (ie pacman). The bash-completion pkg provides some more advanced completion features, like man pac[tab] and it completes it to man pacman, or ssh [tab] and it completes using the hosts included in ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
My script provides these features for ArchLinux. Simply try pacman -S [tab] and enjoy the list of all available packages for installation on your system. Or pacman -Q -l [tab] that completes from packages installed in your system. Then try /etc/rc.d/network [tab], it will list 'restart start stop'
(ps. [tab] == pressing the 'tab' key on your keyboard btw.)

Bash-Completion notice

Hi,
I already flagged bash-completion several days ago in the packages system, but i wanted to stress the need for an update, here is the extract from the developer's site: http://www.caliban.org/bash/
bash 3.1 is now available. Initial reports suggest that there are some minor incompatibilities between this version and the 20050721 release of the bash completion code, which many people are still using. Please ensure that you upgrade to the 20060301 release, which is believed to fix these issues.
As you know, we have bash 3.1 on current for some time now, and well, i just wish i could use bash-completion again
I dont know where to post this, packages forums changed since the AUR and well... this is the best place i could find.

Hi iphitus,
i flagged it out of date, i didn't know the consequences of that, that issues a bug-tracker ticket?
just as a side note:
i thought on posting it because i know that the flag doesn't necessarily mean the update is important, but as this package didn't work anymore, i wanted to let know it was a pretty important update... although its not a base package and i / it can wait!
No, the flag emails the developer.
What i meant is that, most devs dont read the forums, but most do check the bug tracker, and would take notice if you issued a bug ticket to inform them.
