Hello, I have discovered some additional information about what is causing this issue and have found a better fix that requires less editing.
I don't know how I missed it the first time, but there is a local config file at $HOME/.byobu/datetime.tmux which contains the following two lines: BYOBU_DATE="%Y-%m-%d " BYOBU_TIME="%H:%M:%S" This two variables control the status line output when using tmux under Byobu. This file can be used to alter the format of the output or turn it off. Modifying this file does not alter how Byobu fails to honor the date/time status notification settings, so it seems like this might still be part of a workaround. At the very least, I haven't found it documented or mentioned in the changelog. A better (temporary) fix: It is no longer necessary to modify the $HOME/.byobu/profile.tmux file and you do not need to create a profile.tmux.local file to override settings in the system byobu/tmux profile. Instead, simply edit the datetime.tmux file and change the variables to suit. If you want to disable the date, time, or both, commenting the corresponding line does *NOT* work. It's still getting a default value. To disable, set that variable to the empty string. Not wanting the date displayaed, my file looks like: BYOBU_DATE="" BYOBU_TIME="%H:%M:%S" -- --John Gruenenfelder Systems Manager, MKS Imaging Technology, LLC.
