Bug Description

screenbin currently expects screen-profiles in the guest.

Extend this support for byobu in the guest.

===============
SRU Verification

Without the fix, screenbin simply won't work with a Karmic instance in EC2. With the fix, it should work just fine.

First, find the image ID from:
* http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/release/

Run a karmic instance in EC2:
$ http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/release/

Run screenbin:
$ screenbin

If it works, it should give you the command line to run to attach to the screen in Read-Write mode, and another command line you can give your guests (or just you in another terminal) for Read-Only mode.

  * screenbin: add support for karmic guests, which use byobu rather than
    screen-profiles; increase the security slightly by execing the guest's
    screen attachment; LP: #471917

out Edit (2.4 KiB, text/plain)

We should SRU this fix to Karmic. Unfortunately, I didn't test screenbin with *karmic* in the EC2 guest until very, very late.

The references in the screenbin code that calls "screen-profiles" should do byobu || screen-profiles.

The patch is straightforward.

Without this, screenbin simply does not work with Karmic EC2 guests.
