Public bug reported: Sorry for reporting this way if it's not correct.
The PPA version of byobu(5.97) seems to be incompatible with tmux(1.8-5) in trusty and probably older releases. Situation: - Upgraded my 14.04 installation to the latest byobu version from the PPA. - Uncommented "source-file $BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/windows.tmux" in /usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmuxrc. - Configured ~/.byobu/windows.tmux with "new-session -A -s byobu; neww mycommand", which works well. Problem: - New windows and panes are opened in / instead of ~. - I found that the parameter -c was introduced for the commands new-window|neww and new-session in t-mux 1.9. byobu adds a "-c #{pane_current_path}" to keybindings like F2 and ctrl+a c, but this does not seem to work. Solution: - Installing a newer version of tmux (like https://launchpad.net/~mpanella/+archive/ubuntu/tmux) solved the problem without changing the configuration. Please consider including an updated version of tmux in the PPA for Ubuntu releases that ship versions below 1.9. ** Affects: byobu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - PPA version of byobu is incompatible with tmux and ignores "#{pane_current_path}" + PPA version of byobu is incompatible with tmux and ignores "-c #{pane_current_path}" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to byobu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493805 Title: PPA version of byobu is incompatible with tmux and ignores "-c #{pane_current_path}" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byobu/+bug/1493805/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
