I installed byobu(v5.60), tmux(v1.8). Then I found a difference with an old version, byobu(v5.27)tmux(v1.7)：

The old version byobu-tmux start byobu server with command like(checked by top -c)

tmux -2 -f /*****/share/byobu/profiles/tmuxrc new-session /*****/bin/byobu-shell,

but the new version is

tmux -2 -f /*****/share/byobu/profiles/tmuxrc new-session -n - /*****/bin/byobu-shell.

So the new version will initialize a window with name "-". I don't want to use a name for windows, so I have modified the F2 bind to open noname window, but the first one is still a problem.

How to close the -n - option when byobu server starts?

Naming the window "-" is unfortunately the only compromise I can find to this bug.

Here's what you can do... You can add one simple line your configuration that would rename each new window to the empty string.

Add this in your ~/.byobu/.tmux.conf file:

bind-key -n F2 new-window \; rename-window ""

Full disclosure: I am the author and maintainer of Byobu.

  • I have already added this config. The first "-" window is my problem. I think it is a build-in function, right? After compiling, the start command can't be changed anymore? The old version was compiled on a gentoo environment by a senior, so I try to ask his help. I'll add a new comment if I solve it anyway. Thanks! – Dicor Dec 02 '13 at 16:36
  • The old version has default empty window name. So I read executable files of byobu. I removed `-n -` in line 111 of 'byobu', then the first window showed 'bash' as name. Next, I turned off automatic-rename function in the profile of tmux, then the first window name became 'byobu-shell'. From beginning, `shelltitle ""` was input into the */share/common file. After failing, I compared other scripts between versions. Finally, I think you changed something to fit tmux and screen respectively, but led this bug by chance. So u added the makeshift `-n -` into default, and changed the F2 bind. --> – Dicor Dec 03 '13 at 09:18
  • <--Right? I suggest fixing it as possible. – Dicor Dec 03 '13 at 09:22
