I added a new ubuntu user with this command

 useradd -d /home/newname -m newname

It seems no tab completing feature and only $ as prompt, When I logged in as root I see root@server$ as prompt.

Something is missing for my new user?

THanks

sounds like your user was added with the sh shell instead of bash
try the following.

su to your new user and type chsh type /bin/bash and press enter
now try reloging and see if it works
