Lord Kenneth Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I reinstalled mandrake because I deleted some X11R6 files my accident and couldn't get it working afterwards. So, I got everything re-installed. Buuuuut: A minor annoyance! Whenever I hit "tab" to complete or show commands that start with those characters...nothing happens. Example: urpmi --au<tab> SHOULD show: --auto-select --auto Also: urpmi --no-v<tab> Should turn it into urpmi --no-verify-packages How do I get this working?

feralertx Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 The <TAB> thing is only of use with commands and/or files, in your examples the command is 'urpmi' and whatever goes behind that are the options to that command and that wont autocomplete im afraid. try typing: urp and press <TAB>, you´ll see how all the commands nad/or files starting with 'urp' will come up. On my pc: [root@pc1 operador]# urp urpme urpmi urpmi.removemedia urpmi.update urpmf urpmi.addmedia urpmi_rpm-find-leaves urpmq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesea Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 There's a package called bash-completion (or something like that) that enables this sort of functionality in bash. I'm not sure if it has support for urpmi, but its worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kenneth Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Oh, no, I know it works-- it did before. It just doesn't now. So, I'm off to install bash-completion... Installed it. It works. Thank you so much... what a helpful tool! If you don't have it installed now, install it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralertx Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Installed it. It works. Thank you so much... what a helpful tool! If you don't have it installed now, install it!

Lord Kenneth Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Yeah, it's really nice. Even lets you see what available rpms you can download-- nice! It should be installed by default-- but it's not. Not sure why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
