byobu

Automatically select last session

Asked by Dan Sherman

I have byobu installed on a debian system. Whenever I detach and then login again I am presented with a screen to select the correct session. #1 is the session I want, #2 is blank, and #3 is create a new session. I only have one session in my SockDir.

How can I tell byobu to select the last session?

And when this happens, what is the output of "screen -ls"?

Byobu should behave exactly as you request, if there is only one session, that one should be selected. If it's not doing that, then there's probably a bug.

Could you try running the latest byobu release and tell me if you still have the problem there?

Output of screen -ls:

There is a screen on:
        1444.pts-0.dkserver (10/26/2010 05:32:43 PM) (Attached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-dan.

I'll upgrade and see if that fixes it.

Updating to the latest version solved it, thanks.
