I'm running into an issue with autocomplete using git... I am using ubuntu 12.10 and when I perform the following keystrokes

g i t Space Bar Tab

I am presented with the error

Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.

and prompted for a password. I am not clear how to go about troubleshooting this error, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling git to no avail.

How will people upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 after 13.04 is EOL?

Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases 13.04 will reach EOL in January 2014, while 12.10 will reach EOL in April 2014, therefore if a 12.10 user hasn't upgraded to 13.04 and subsequently to 13.10, there will be a 3 month period where a 12.10 user has a supported version of Ubuntu, but will be… >>> More
