Bug Description
Since upgrading to noble, I've found that any command I run in the terminal will show an error like this:
bash: /timer.6217: Permission denied
The number changes, and I'm guessing matches the process ID. I finally narrowed down that it's cause by byobu.
Running `apt purge byobu` fixes it.
Specifically it's coming from /usr/share/
# Requires Bash 4.x
export PS0='$(printf "%s" ${EPOCHREALTIME/./} >"$BYOBU_
AFAICT $BYOBU_RUN_DIR isn't initialized which leads to this issue.

This all happens from a logged in shell running in gnome-terminal. I also noticed that my color scheme changed, maybe the issue is that the byobu configuration shouldn't be sourced when byobu isn't running?
