While not enabling enabling byobu by default means that: - users are very unlikely to discover it, and its many benefits, - there is no standard way status messages can be easily displayed on a server console, - it is impossible to detach from a session while leaving a program running,
enabling it does not seem to break anything but a scrollback habit and disabling it is as simple as selecting the menu and the right function. It will NOT: - break any form of server automation that I know of - render the server unuseable if a byobu version is buggy, as it will simply return the user to the regular console - prevent anyone from using any programs This is therefore a +1 for me. To comment on the scrollback issue, it just means that, by default, the key combinations <shift><pgup> or <shift><pgdn> will not allow someone to scrollback in the terminal buffer unless the terminal is first put into scrollback/copy mode by pressing F8, which is, I beleive, clearly documented in the byobu manpage and online help. -- Byobu should be enabled by default for initial login to Ubuntu Server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586546 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
