Bash tab-completion not working

I am trying to troubleshoot why the bash tab-completion isn't working on my fedora 19 desktop. I am afraid I just know what else to add to this that might be relevant.

What worked for me on Debian 12 was installing the bash-completion package:

sudo apt-get install bash-completion

Then I restarted the shell, and the completions were working.

Another possible cause is lines like..:

set disable-completion on

.. in ~/.inputrc. I don't know what puts that there, but if I deleted it then I found it was recreated every time I started a shell via firejail. However, if I edited it to off instead of on tab completion worked as usual.
