What is this strange shell? I want to desinstall but don't know its name

  • 772

When I login from the terminal (not XOrg), my computer starts with the weird shell featured in the image below.

weird shell I want to desinstall

If I click in the Unity terminal icon, It opens with my dear bash shell.

I don't remember when I installed it, but I want to remove it and don't know the package name. Can anyone help me?

This shell has 2 problems:

  1. It is very slow to start. When I log into the terminal I usually want to solve a problem quickly.
  2. All the terminals log me into the same shell. Even if I do Alt-F2 and login, I will fall into the same session.
command-line

    That is the byobu which is a terminal enhancement that is installed. More information about it can be found here.

    To remove byobu from your system, type in the following at a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get remove byobu

  2. Looks like just plain old sh to me. Type this to find out:

    echo $SHELL
