the minicom completion in /etc/bash_completion looks for /etc/minirc.* whereas in gentoo (net-dialup/minicom-2.3-r1) this lives in /etc/minicom/... when typing "$ sudo minicom /dev/<tab>" this gives the error: $ sudo minicom /dev/ls: cannot access /etc/minirc.*: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /etc/minirc.*: No such file or directory This patch fixes it: $ diff -Naur Desktop/bash_completion /etc/bash_completion --- Desktop/bash_completion 2008-06-12 12:17:19.000000000 +0930 +++ /etc/bash_completion 2008-06-12 12:17:43.000000000 +0930 @@ -8808,7 +8808,7 @@ COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W '-s -o -m -M -z -l -L -w -a -t \ -c -S -d -p -C -T -8' -- $cur ) ) else - COMPREPLY=( $( command ls /etc/minirc.* | sed -e 's|/etc/minirc.||' | grep "^$cur" ) ) + COMPREPLY=( $( command ls /etc/minicom/minirc.* | sed -e 's|/etc/minicom/minirc.||' | grep "^$cur" ) ) fi } && complete -F _minicom minicom But is this an upstream or distro dependant thing?
