Sun 23 Jun 2024 09:26:39 AM UTC, comment #4: Screen version 4.99.0 Screen outputs "Bad session name" with -md / -dm when precedes /usr/bin/gedit. Looks fixed.	Julian <juyret>
Fri 27 Feb 2009 02:30:29 AM UTC, comment #3: The problem is that -d takes a sessionname as an argument if there isn't already one and there is exactly one argument following but not a parameter (starts with '-'). Which is why the manual states -d -m which works as expected. (well somewhat...) Not exactly a bug I'd say but could definately use improvement.	Soliton <soliton>
Thu 05 Feb 2009 09:14:55 PM UTC, comment #2: screen from ubuntu repo Package: screen (4.0.3-11) --version Screen version 4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06	Dariusz <cdar>
Thu 05 Feb 2009 06:49:03 PM UTC, comment #1: What version of screen is this with? I seem to be unable to reproduce this with either 4.0.3 or current development build.	Sadrul Habib Chowdhury <sadrul>
Wed 04 Feb 2009 06:05:44 PM UTC, original submission: "screen -md /usr/bin/gedit" or "screen -m -d /usr/bin/gedit" outputs "Must run suid root for multiuser support." You need to add "-S" option to make screen work properly, "screen -S foo -md /usr/bin/gedit"	Dariusz <cdar>
