Normally, bash completion using tab in the terminal works as expected. But when the target is a system, which has not the locale of the host system loaded, an eroor message is displayed:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (nl_NL.UTF-8)
When trying to repair the locales:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:

What is odd, is that the locale of the remote seems to be set to nl_NL, but this is the locale of the host system. It looks like Ubuntu is mixing up the locales of the host and remote system. |

Doing a locale repair on the host system, everything seems to be good, no error messages. |
