I connect to a remote computer with ssh and start a byobu session on the remote machine. Whenever I change the directory in a byobu window, the window gets renamed to username@remote-pc:~/.../.../.... When I rename the window using F8 the name persists until the next cd.
How can I prevent this?
I had the same problem on Fedora.
In each bash session, PROMPT_COMMAND is set by default in /etc/bashrc to __vte_prompt_command
man bash says
PROMPT_COMMAND
If set, the value is executed as a command prior to issuing each primary prompt.
__vte_prompt_command is defined in /etc/profile.d/vte.sh
type __vte_prompt_command gives
__vte_prompt_command is a function
__vte_prompt_command ()
{
local pwd='~';
[ "$PWD" != "$HOME" ] && pwd=${PWD/#$HOME\//\~\/};
printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007%s" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${pwd}" "$(__vte_osc7)"
}
to prevent this, you could add unset PROMPT_COMMAND after sourcing /etc/bashrc in your ~/.bashrc
You may also want to do this only inside a byobu session, you could test byobu environment variable for that (BYOBU_RUN_DIR?)
