Description of problem: SSH completion for hosts mentioned in ~/.ssh/config is not working at all. When i manually install an old bash-completion RPM from 2006, everything works like expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1:1.1-3.fc12 How reproducible: define a host in ~/.ssh/config, enter a new shell session and try ssh hostn<TAB><TAB> Steps to Reproduce: 1. install bash-completion from the repository first 2. use steps in "How reproducible" Actual results: it will complete nothing Expected results: it will complete to the defined host
The bug summary says bash completion is not working at all, but your report mentions only ssh hosts completion. I'm assuming you mean the latter only and the bug summary should be adjusted? Do you have any known hosts files? Do a "set -x" in a shell, then try the completion, and post the resulting output here (make sure it doesn't contain any confidential information).
Hi, i'm not getting any output at all when i use set -x and try ssh hostn<TAB> or something. By the way, yes my bug summary was not very exact. Completion is working for e.g. yum wonderfully, just ssh completion does nothing. I have a ~/.ssh/known_hosts but i think what matters is that i have defined custom host definitions in ~/.ssh/config, whose names bash_completion usually completes. Sorry for my faulty summary. Fixed it. Thanks for your work, - Armin
There is a bug in 1.1 (fixed upstream yesterday) where if there are no known hosts files, completions from ~/.ssh/config are not tried either. But if you have one, that's not the issue here. (In reply to comment #2) > i'm not getting any output at all when i use set -x and try ssh hostn<TAB> or > something. That is very weird, but it also indicates that the ssh completion function from bash-completion has not been installed at all. What do the following commands output? rpm -V bash-completion rpm -q openssh-clients rpm -V openssh-clients ls -la /usr/bin/ssh ls -la /etc/bash_completion.d/
Hi, this is the output of those commands: rpm -V bash-completion: --- rpm -q openssh-clients: openssh-clients-5.2p1-31.fc12.x86_64 --- rpm -V openssh-clients: --- ls -la /usr/bin/ssh: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 358376 2009-11-02 14:04 /usr/bin/ssh --- ls -la /etc/bash_completion.d/: total 64 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-14 01:45 . drwxr-xr-x 117 root root 12288 2009-12-14 23:55 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 2009-12-13 15:34 acroread.sh -> /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Resource/Shell/acroread_tab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3340 2009-10-09 14:49 bash-builtins lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2009-12-14 00:35 bind-utils -> /usr/share/bash-completion/bind-utils lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2009-12-14 00:35 bittorrent -> /usr/share/bash-completion/bittorrent lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2009-12-14 00:35 bzip2 -> /usr/share/bash-completion/bzip2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2009-12-14 00:35 chkconfig -> /usr/share/bash-completion/chkconfig -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 882 2009-10-09 14:49 configure lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 cpio -> /usr/share/bash-completion/cpio lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 cups -> /usr/share/bash-completion/cups lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-12-14 00:35 cvs -> /usr/share/bash-completion/cvs -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 798 2009-10-09 14:49 dd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2009-12-14 00:35 dhclient -> /usr/share/bash-completion/dhclient lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2009-12-14 00:35 findutils -> /usr/share/bash-completion/findutils lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-12-14 01:45 gcc -> /usr/share/bash-completion/gcc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-12-14 00:35 gdb -> /usr/share/bash-completion/gdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2009-12-14 00:35 genisoimage -> /usr/share/bash-completion/genisoimage -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1374 2009-10-09 14:49 getent lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2009-12-14 00:35 gkrellm -> /usr/share/bash-completion/gkrellm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2516 2009-11-30 15:52 gvfs-bash-completion.sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 gzip -> /usr/share/bash-completion/gzip -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 714 2009-10-09 14:49 iconv lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 info -> /usr/share/bash-completion/info lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2009-12-14 00:35 iptables -> /usr/share/bash-completion/iptables lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 lftp -> /usr/share/bash-completion/lftp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 make -> /usr/share/bash-completion/make lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-12-14 00:35 man -> /usr/share/bash-completion/man lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2009-12-14 00:35 mc -> /usr/share/bash-completion/mc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2009-12-14 00:35 mdadm -> /usr/share/bash-completion/mdadm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2009-12-14 00:35 mplayer -> /usr/share/bash-completion/mplayer lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 mutt -> /usr/share/bash-completion/mutt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2009-12-14 00:35 net-tools -> /usr/share/bash-completion/net-tools lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2009-12-14 00:35 ntpdate -> /usr/share/bash-completion/ntpdate lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2009-12-14 00:35 openldap -> /usr/share/bash-completion/openldap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2009-12-14 00:35 openssl -> /usr/share/bash-completion/openssl lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 perl -> /usr/share/bash-completion/perl -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2574 2009-11-20 10:00 pk-completion.bash lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2009-12-14 00:35 python -> /usr/share/bash-completion/python -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10064 2009-10-09 14:49 rpm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2009-12-14 00:35 rsync -> /usr/share/bash-completion/rsync lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-12-14 00:35 tar -> /usr/share/bash-completion/tar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2009-12-14 00:35 tcpdump -> /usr/share/bash-completion/tcpdump lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 vpnc -> /usr/share/bash-completion/vpnc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 2009-12-14 00:35 wireless-tools -> /usr/share/bash-completion/wireless-tools lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2009-12-14 00:35 wodim -> /usr/share/bash-completion/wodim lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 xmms -> /usr/share/bash-completion/xmms lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2009-12-14 00:35 xz -> /usr/share/bash-completion/xz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2009-12-14 00:35 yp-tools -> /usr/share/bash-completion/yp-tools lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-12-14 00:35 _yum -> /usr/share/bash-completion/_yum -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6213 2009-11-08 08:40 yum-utils.bash Best regards and thanks for your help! - Armin
Ok, that explains it. The triggers in bash-completion are not working as intended. You can fix it for ssh locally by doing this as root: ln -s /usr/share/bash-completion/ssh /etc/bash_completion.d A bunch of other completions, namely bluez-utils, brctl, chsh, cpan2dist, dcop, dict, gnatmake, gpg, gpg2, imagemagick, isql, jar, java, lisp, lvm, lzma, mysqladmin, openldap, pkg-config, plague-client, qdbus, quota-tools, ri, rpcdebug, samba, shadow-utils, smartctl, svk, sysctl, vncviewer, xhost, xmllint, xmlwf, xrandr are not auto-installed due to this bug. I'm working on a fix.

i just want to confirm that fixing it locally by creating the symlink you mentioned works for me! thanks in advance for your work! :) - armin
