See Byobu Screens using ConnectBot

  • 772

I use ConnectBot sometimes to connect to my ubuntu machine, and that works fine, however it just comes up with a standard shell, not my byobu screens that I get when I connect to it using another machine running ssh, such as my windows machine running PuTTy.

Is there any way that I can see my byobu screens from ConnectBot?

ssh

    The problem is that ConnectBot sets $TERM to screen, instead of xterm like most terminal emulators. Because of that, Byobu thinks it's being run inside another Byobu or screen, and doesn't launch.

    To solve, go to ConnectBot preferences, and set Emulation Mode to xterm instead of screen.
