Can't detatch from byobu session without disconnecting

Okay, do this ...

Press <F9> and go to the menu. Toggle off, and then back on the "launch by default" option. It should be the last in the menu. This will re-write the last line of your ~/.profile with the latest incantation.

Look in your ~/.profile. Do you see a line that looks like this?
  case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher && exit 0; esac;

Edit ~/.profile and change that line to say:
  case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher; esac;

ie, drop the "&& exit 0" part.

Now try your use case again. Does it now do what you want?

If so, let me know. I can try to add a configuration option to make this behavior toggle-able too.

Heya Dustin,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yeah.

This doesn't seem to change the behaviour. Detaching or killing the
screen session with c-d still gives me

,----
| [detached from 6780.byobu]
| Connection to home.orangesquash.org.uk closed.
`----

btw, another way to fix my use case would be an option to have byobu
detach other attached sessions when I connect from somewhere else.

Cheers,
Iain

Hi again.

Actually, it does work. I'm running zsh so had to edit ~/.zprofile
instead of ~/.profile.

Thanks!

Okay, so perhaps I just need to put together an interface in the gui
config and let you select this behavior.

How does this verbage sound?

I'll try to add a option in the byobu-config that says something like:

======================
When detaching from a remote session (choose one):
 [detach to a shell prompt on the remote system]
 [detach and log out of the remote system entirely]
======================

Not bad, but I think that “remote” sounds weird — it's not necessarily
a remote session. I'd probably just say “session” or “byobu session”.

Got it, thanks!

Any progress on this Wishlist item?

Well, I dropped a whole bunch of new functionality in 3.7 and decided that I needed to cut a release before Natty Alpha1.

I haven't worked on it yet.

In the mean time, just change one line in your ~/.profile:

-case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher && exit 0; esac;
+case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher; esac;

I added an option for -n|--no-logout to byobu-launcher-install.

You can call it like this:
 byobu-launcher-install -n

This will be in byobu-3.20. Thanks!
