Not working #6

I tried this on my ubuntu 13.10 bash shell but it didn't work. I followed the instructions. I set up cd to try out and got this error:

$ cd ts_get_comp_words_by_ref: command not found dirname: missing operand Try 'dirname --help' for more information. basename: missing operand Try 'basename --help' for more information. _get_comp_words_by_ref: command not found dirname: missing operand Try 'dirname --help' for more information. basename: missing operand Try 'basename --help' for more information.

(ts is a part of my Documents directory) I already installed bash_completion.

Edit: I found out that I haven't activated bash-completion package in /etc/bash.bashrc. Now everything is working. It would be nicer if you can update the instruction for setting up the prerequisite to avoid this mistake from future users.

Yes, the documentation could probably be expanded. Thanks for the report.
