Are you sure your repositories are all setup correctly?
As far as I know they are. I update them with every apt-get.

You need to actually check them and not just shrug and say "yeah as far as I know they are"! No wonder you're having issues :/

In short I type up to 'image-' and press TAB and get no autocomplete, nor when I TAB twice. I'm guessing I need to be in a particular directory to execute this command?

How are you going to be "in" the right directory of the remote server servicing your apt install requests? It's not a local resource you're doing path-completion on.

The fact that even with bash-completion installed you have as-yet-unspecified issues with installing kernels _and_ apt can't autocomplete valid candidate packages definitely points toward repository misconfigurations.

You need to diagnose what's going on with your package sources by the looks of it. Check through sources.list and sources.list.d under /etc/apt and see what's going wrong. Did you install your Mint fresh or just upgrade in place from a previous version?
