eselect bashcomp enable gentoo
eselect bashcomp enable eselect
I always do those when doing a new install. Of course, don't forget to do USE=bash-completion and the subsequent emerge --update --newuse --deep @world ;)

Personally, I do some cherry-picking and enable a bashcomp when I found out I need it. I have 2 concerns (which may or may not be true):
1. It will make bash (or the whole system) slower
2. For some commands I *might* want the standard completion
That results in a short list of 'essential' bashcomps that I enable this way:
for m in $ESSENTIAL_BASHCOMP; do eselect bashcomp enable $m; done
Shove that line (prepended by ESSENTIAL_BASHCOMP) into a script, save the script somewhere safe and retrievable, and everytime I need to enable the bashcomp modules, I'll just download the script and execute it :)

So far, I'm just enjoying not having to type so much. I'm not a great
typer anyway so the less I have to do the better.
If I run into something that I don't want bash completion on, I can
always disable it. The man page tells how to do that but doesn't have a
enable all option.
Since I have a quad core 3.2Ghz machine, I'm not to worried about
speed. I actually can't tell any difference, at least so far. I may
not do this on my old x86 rig tho. It's a single 2500+ CPU and IDE
drives. That may slow things down there.
Thanks for sharing tho. I'll keep that in mind when I mess with my old
rig.

well, only when you are hitting tab ... ;)
I know it can be annoying to have to wait a long time when you
accidentally hit tab on a "complex" command..., but when you know how to
do the explicit filename only completion...

You need to first incantate the 2-line spell I posted earlier, followed by a logout and a login.
And bash will from then on automagically provide a contextual command completion.

Hello list,
I was wondering if it is possible to have a tool with which it would be
possible to have external modules installed for _all_ kernel versions in
my computer. Now I am using 2.6.38 kernel, but would like to try 2.6.39
and the thing is that I would like to have tp_smapi and phc-intel
modules in both kernels. Is it possible to have it without any serious
hacking?
I have only 3 ideas how I could achieve that:
* Making a custom ebuild, which would build the modules, but install
itself as a different package depending on the kernel version (eg
tp_smapi-2.6.39-gentoo)?
* Making a custom ebuild, which would build the modules for all kernel
versions in one go... (is this possible?)
* patching the gentoo-sources each time.
Is any of these solutions sensible?
Cheers,
Ignas

why you making so much work for yourself?
set the /usr/src/linux symlink to each set of installed sources in turn,
run emerge @module-rebuild
or run module-rebuild rebuild
you could even script it
cd /usr/src
for I in linux-*
do
ln -sfn $I linux
module-rebuild rebuils
done
Fixing my bash syntax errors is left as an exercise for the interested reader

Thanks very much!
I am a former Arch user, so I was used for a lot of inconvenience while
doing such things, but gentoo seems to make my life easier and easier.

You actually don't need to the symlinks yourself. Try:
eselect kernel list
Then choose one with something like:
eselect kernel set 2

Sure, but I can use ln in my sleep.
eselect OTOH, is something I always have to run bit by bit to recall the
invocation. That's just way too much effort for this here old git....

Wasn't on this list that I saw the correct procedure for eselect?
eselect
eselect kernel
eselect kernel list
eselect kernel set 6

In my case there's usually a lot of wondering which one it is after step 1.
Try this, poke around, nope. Try that, nope not that one. Sometime after the
third try I find it.

Never happened to me. I simply enter "eselect" and then press TAB twice

I'm still not used to eselect and its options. They are sensible but I
just haven't got the hang of it. I been practicing tho. I do eselect
modules list then go from there. You are right tho Alan, in the end, it
takes longer. I bet it was supposed to save time too. lol

On the whole, eselect is a good idea, just some of it's modules are extreme.
eselect opengl and eselect python are just two examples of things I have no
idea how to accomplish manually
