I have installed byobu
in my ubuntu 12.04 server installation and set as backend to use screen.
What i am trying to do without success is to have all users on my system to use byobu
having also screen as default.
I have tried to use byobu-select-backend
, but this will change the setting only for the user issuing the command and not all.
I don't want to edit for every user on the system manually the .byobu/backend
, but what i am trying to achieve is when i install it, i.e as a root
user this setting to be applied for all users on the system.
Thank you all in advance.
Regards.

Edit the file
/etc/byobu/backend
and replace the assignmentwith
Uncomment the line also if it is commented on your system.
This system-wide configuration file will affect all users. Of course, users are still free to select a tmux session if tmux is installed, and each user's
~/.byobu/backend
will take precedence over the system-wide default, but the default will now be screen for all users that have not yet run byobu.If you want to set the default for users even if they have already run byobu and have their own preferences, then you will have to edit (or delete) each user's individual
~/.byobu/backend
configuration file.
