Unable to attach to any detached session

I upgraded byobu to verion in ppa. If I rename any session using -S flag when starting byobu it does not detect it. If I dont use -S flag then I am able to attach to the session. This was not the case when using byobu from either karmic or lucid.

What version are you testing?

I'm able to do the following:

Tab1:
  $ byobu -S foo

Tab2:
  $ byobu -S bar

Tab3:
$ byobu
Byobu sessions...
  1. 28311.bar (12/07/2010 09:22:38 PM) (Attached)
  2. 25125.foo (12/07/2010 09:21:34 PM) (Attached)
  3. Create a new session

I am running byobu 3.16-0ubuntu1~ppa4, I still have the same issue.

I just upgraded to 3.17-0ubuntu1~ppa4 part of the problem still exists. I am unable to attach to a session using -xS <sockname> switch.

Tab1:
  $ byobu -S foo

Tab2:
  $ byobu -S bar

Tab3:
$ byobu -list
No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-<username>.

$ screen -list
There are screens on:
        32608.bar (12/27/2010 10:54:46 AM) (Attached)
        32470.foo (12/27/2010 10:54:42 AM) (Attached)
2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-<username>.

However,
$ byobu
Byobu sessions...
   1. 32608.bar (12/27/2010 10:54:46 AM) (Attached)
   2. 32470.foo (12/27/2010 10:54:42 AM) (Attached)
   3. Create a new session
Choose 1-3 [1]:

I upgraded to 3.19-0ubuntu1~ppa4 and I am still unable to attach to session using -xS <sockname> switch.

$ byobu -list
There are screens on:
        4467.bar (12/28/2010 10:58:36 AM) (Attached)
        4322.foo (12/28/2010 10:58:32 AM) (Attached)
2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-<username>.

$ byobu -xS bar
There is no screen to be attached matching byobu.

From the error it appears that byobu is always passing "byobu" as the sockname instead of what is passed to it in the switch.

Try

byobu -x -S bar

Dustin

byobu -x -S bar works.
