In some situations, especially when using an openvz vps one may notice that auto-completion is not working as it should (especially on debian). Luckily the fix is simple, in your terminal type:
apt-get install bash-completion
If that doesn’t work you can try the following
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bash-completion
or
sudo apt-get install auto-complete-el
or at a last result edit the following
sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc
and change
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
# if ! shopt -oq posix; then
# if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
# . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
# elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
# . /etc/bash_completion
# fi
# fi
to
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
fi
