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. Personally, I feel byobu's authors tried to make prompt better but terminal program limitations might be screwing it up :(. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
