[Bug 586546] Re: Byobu should be enabled by default for initial login to Ubuntu Server

[Dustin Kirkland]

Okay, so after pushing Byobu for several years as a default command line
experience within Ubuntu, I'm raising the white flag and surrendering
:-(

I've just committed revisions 1728 and 1729 to lp:byobu that approaches
this from the opposite direction -- enabling Byobu lovers an easy way to
ALWAYS enable byobu on launch. As of byobu-4.46, you should be able to
simply add to your local system's ~/.bashrc: "export LC_BYOBU=1", and
everywhere you ssh into, that has byobu >= 4.46, should launch
automatically. Basically, I've added this code to:

#/etc/profile.d/Z97-byobu.sh:
if [ "$LC_BYOBU" = "1" ] && [ -r "/usr/bin/byobu-launch" ]; then
        . /usr/bin/byobu-launch
fi
true

This could, perhaps, be a candidate for SRU to 11.10, if smoser and
utlemming want to back out the byobu-by-default setting there.
