This may be related to /etc/bash_completion, but I'm not familiar with it and can anyone help to let my bash completion works fine. thanks, sun -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

You do not need bash completion package for filename completion. Uninstall the package and observe whether it gets better. Expect filename completion to be slow on slow drives. Includes some network drives and some external drives. Completion can be very slow in directories with large number of files. If anything of that does not hep, try following the rules from http://cygwin.com/problems.html. Output of ' cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out 2>&1 ' and OS version might give some information. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/1.7.9-cygwin-bash-completion-doesn%27t-response-tp32688677p32702475.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
