Byobu doesn't start

Question

When I run the byobu command I get this message. "/usr/bin/byobu-select-session: 24: exec: /usr/lib/byobu/include/select-session.py: not found". I am a beginner with bash so I don't know how to access certain files and here I have no clue of what to do. If anyone has some idea I would be very grateful.

Answer 1

This is because BYOBU_PYTHON is empty (python does not have snack module and byobu cannot set BYOBU_PYTHON).

set python3 to BYOBU_PYTHON

sudo sed -i /usr/bin/byobu-select-session  -e 's;${BYOBU_PYTHON};python3;g'
