[Bug 525552] Re: Byobu overwrites shell prompt setting
I was also affected by issue. But thanks to thread, I found how to disable PS1 changing by byobu. Default bash.rc enables byobu colorizing if it exists: [ -r /home/bhs/.byobu/prompt ] && . /home/bhs/.byobu/prompt #byobu- prompt# If line is commented, PS1 remains identical to what's set by bash of user's .bashrc setting.

+1 for @readan2 I've been trying to make byobu+screen automatically start a login shell for months (i know that sounds pathetic), and this workaround adequately solves this for me. In order to utilize my ruby on rails environment I must be logged into a login shell which required me to do bash -l, /bin/bash --login, etc. every time I opened my ssh connection. To clarify this workaround however, With my distro, in /usr/local/bin/byobu-shell there is a line that looks like this: [ -n $SHELL -a -x $SHELL ] exec $SHELL || exec /bin/bash I changed it to look like this: [ -n $SHELL -a -x $SHELL ] exec $SHELL --login || exec /bin/bash --login just in case anyone wasn't sure how to implement @readan2's instructions, doing this worked for me. I also inserted this just before the 3 present commands in /usr/share/byobu/profiles/screenrc (assuming it would work the same as with tmux). I also didn't test after the first modification so this may or may not be necessary, but after doing these two things I no longer need to run /bin/bash --login.: set -g default-command $SHELL --login thanks @readan2 for the working solution.

[Bug 525552] Re: Byobu overwrites shell prompt setting
I'm using byobu-tmux with bash and .bash_profile is not sourced at all so I'm missing my alias, functions, environment variables and even bash- completion doesn't work. To enable profile sourcing, login mode for the shell has to be used. As far as I can gather, login mode is disabled on purpose. I don't know the reason for it though (maybe so that random stuff from profiles wouldn't get sourced), but it should provide at least a setting to chose whether to use login shell. There are two places where new shell is started when launching byobu: 1) /usr/bin/byobu-shell does exec $SHELL 2) /usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmux does set -g default-command $SHELL Tmux by default starts login shell, but it is explicitly disabled in /usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmux for byobu by setting default-command. A workaround is to comment out that line. I didn't manage to figure out how to unset default-command from user profile. Seems like most shells support -l | --login flag, so that also can be used to start login shell: 1) /usr/bin/byobu-shell: exec $SHELL --login 2) /usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmux: set -g default-command $SHELL --login The first point is need so that initial byobu window uses login shell and the second for the subsequent windows. Previous commenter mentioned using -$SHELL to get login shell, but that link is not installed on all distros, so I think the flag is the best option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525552 Title: Byobu overwrites shell prompt setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/byobu/+bug/525552/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug was about byobu not reading PS1's formatting in ~/.bash_profile. The fix apparently goes along so just do not specify it there, which I would not go as far to call it a fix.
