Package: byobu Version: 5.77-1 Followup-For: Bug #750711 Dear Maintainer,
I have found the source of this problem, but have only a partial solution. In the file "/usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmux" see the third line from the end. It looks like this: set -g status-right '#(byobu-status tmux_right)'$BYOBU_DATE$BYOBU_TIME The byobu-status command creates a status line string from the configured status notification plugins. The two variables appended to the line are what is causing the date and time to always be displayed. There seem to be two closely related bugs appearing here. The first is the time and date always being displayed, caused by the two variables above. The second is that byobu-status is not honoring the 'date' and 'time' plugins in the status notification list. If you remove the two variables above, the time and date will no longer be displayed. However, regardless of how you configure byobu's status notifications, you canot get the time and date to show. It seems these two variables are a workaround for this. It could also be that this is some left over debugging cruft from the developer; perhaps a halfway point in fixing the true bug. My half-fix: You could edit the distributed "/usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmux" file, but the following will fix the problem in your local configuration. The file $HOME/.byobu/profile.tmux looks like: source $BYOBU_PREFIX/share/byobu/profiles/tmux Append the following line to that file: source $HOME/.byobu/profile.tmux.local Edit this new file and add the following line: set -g status-right '#(byobu-status tmux_right)'$BYOBU_TIME Modify this line to your preferred configuration. I only wanted the time displayed and not the date, so I removed the variable that shows the current date. Now restart byobu. This new file overrides the system default for tmux's "status-right" variable and, temporarily at least, fixes the problem. -- --John Gruenenfelder Systems Manager, MKS Imaging Technology, LLC.
