Re-attach uniquely -------------------- If you are attached to a remote screen over SSH and the connection drops, then you re-attach later with ``screen -x``, there will still be some pseudo-zombie sessions attached. This is annoying because the new sessions will have their display dimensions locked to the dimensions of the old sessions. To connect to a screen session as the only client (disconnecting all the old half-dead sessions), use: $ screen -d -r Disable default bash completions --------------------------------- At least on debian wheezy, screen has tab completions which prevent, eg: $ screen /dev/ttyU from completing as ``/dev/ttyUSB0`` et al. To disable this, go to ``/usr/share/bash-completion/completions`` and ``sudo mv screen screen.disabled``.
