Okay, so after pushing Byobu for several years as a default command line experience within Ubuntu, I'm raising the white flag and surrendering :-(
We released Ubuntu 11.10 and enabled Byobu-by-default in our EC2 cloud images. Despite numerous compliments and thank-you's, the praise is not universal. Some vocal users just really despise the feature and are threatening to fork the Ubuntu cloud community. We've made it as simple as we can to opt out of it, but that's just not enough for some people. * http://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu/browse_frm/thread/2046f97812244952 I've just committed revisions 1728 and 1729 to lp:byobu that approaches this from the opposite direction -- enabling Byobu lovers an easy way to ALWAYS enable byobu on launch. As of byobu-4.46, you should be able to simply add to your local system's ~/.bashrc: "export LC_BYOBU=1", and everywhere you ssh into, that has byobu >= 4.46, should launch automatically. Basically, I've added this code to: #/etc/profile.d/Z97-byobu.sh: if [ "$LC_BYOBU" = "1" ] && [ -r "/usr/bin/byobu-launch" ]; then . /usr/bin/byobu-launch fi true This could, perhaps, be a candidate for SRU to 11.10, if smoser and utlemming want to back out the byobu-by-default setting there. ** Changed in: byobu (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586546 Title: Byobu should be enabled by default for initial login to Ubuntu Server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/byobu/+bug/586546/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
