Public bug reported: Using byobu version 5.15/tmux 1.5 on Ubuntu 10.04.4.
It seems that running byobu within an existing byobu session breaks or disables 256 colors in the inner byobu session. Scenario: 1) Log into a server (using SSH) 2) Start byobu 3) From a byobu window, ssh into another server 4) Start byobu on the server just connected to 5) Observe 256colors.pl showing very little color I have created two screenshots, showing the problem: https://imgur.com/a/Tlqxv In the first there is only one byobu session and 256 colors work fine, both on the first host (adm01) and on the second (puppet01). Starting byobu on the second host (puppet01) then breaks 256 color support. ** Affects: byobu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943050 Title: Running byobu within byobu (on different hosts) breaks 256 color support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byobu/+bug/943050/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
