Question, is there a way to auto-start Byobu with Guake? I'm not finding a command option in Preferences for Guake?

Thanks.

Yes there is.
I used it in Quake but I don't use it anymore (I use xfce terminal as dropdown) so I cannot remember how - must check....
Edit:
Found it..Just read this thread again

Must be missing it - read it for quiite a while last night but I'll go through again. *sigh

I found how to start byobu in terminal in general, but not how to auto-start it in Guake. Found auto-start for other dropdowns though.

Aha OK I'll dive into it. As you know I use Tmux instead of Byobu
Actually byobu seems to work together with tmux... when I type byobu in my quake it fires up my Tmux.

Yeah. byobu isn't the one that give tabs. It's the one that gives that info at the bottom of the tab.

There is no "command and title" tab in Guake btw.

I think I may have just found it. I saw something earlier in the thread that I wasn't seeing on my end. In rvause's pic, there was an F9 key "something" in his byobu. I didn't have that on my end but tried it.
When you have byobu running and hit f9, it brings up a dialog for byobu. There is an option in there to have it start at login. I've chosen it but haven't logged in/out to see if that does it or not.

I'm pretty upset that tilda isn't around any more. I understand it because it's no longer maintained, but don't like it. I also don't like that Mageia didn't have it. More features in it. If anything had to go, take Guake lol. Or better yet, yakuake haha.

Yes when I installed it it found Tmux and set it as bakend in /etc/byobu/backend

So that is why my Tmux turned up
It seems like the Tmux backend overrides Byobu so I cannot test much here.

In any case there is a "start script on guake start" function in the guake settings. You could put byobu there.

I think I will try that, thanks.

I'm not finding that in Preferences.

However, for you, I did find in ~/.byobu both a .screenrc and a .tmux.conf file you can play with.
There's also a bunch of .tmux files in there to play with.
When I installed Guake it installed tmux as a dependency.

Tmux will do just fine without byobu so I see no reason to use it.

They do two different things though?

Tmux gives you split panes.

byobu gives you the system info at the bottom of the terminal.

Without byobu:



With byobu:



Or do you prefer to get that info from processes such as iftop, atop, etc.?

As you can see in the video of the link provided above. there is a green panel with info in Tmux too.
But the info is somewhat different.
