Sorry, totally forgot to follow up. It seems tmux alone, in a single instance (no tmux within tmux) breaks 256 colors as well. NB: I have not configured tmux in any way, just running it like "tmux" from a fresh SSH shell. I also found that the problem of broken 256 color support in nested sessions persists when switching backends to "screen".
So it seems the following is true: 1) Single Byobu instance with tmux backend works with 256 colors 2) Single tmux instance breaks 256 colors (probably a configuration issue) 3) Byobu instance (tmux) within Byobu (tmux) breaks 256 colors 4) Tmux instance within tmux: breaks 256 colors (as before) 5) Single Byobu instance with screen backend works with 256 colors 6) Byobu instance (screen) within Byobu (screen) breaks 256 colors So I think Byobu is somehow responsible, because it seems to be the common element here. Can I do anything else to debug this? -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
