This isn't working for me.. I get nothing with a tab or double tab. The Update Manager says there is a new kernel but apt won't get it for some reason. I get this a lot with kernel updates.

Are you sure your repositories are all setup correctly? It's a bit weird that your shell - presumably bash - can't autocomplete package names in an apt command as well, that's pretty basic essential functionality. Try installing bash-completion, it might not be installed:

sudo apt install bash-completion

You better explain the "apt won't get it for me for some reason" a bit more as well, there's obviously something wrong with that.
