Tmux [exited] on startup

  • 772

I recently installed Tmux and became really glad for it. All of a sudden I though it would start throwing an error when I try to create a new session from within my terminal:

tmux new -s my-session

will cause the application to crash and only return 

[exited]

and put the following on the next command line: 

62;9;c

Being new to Tmux I have no idea how to fix this issue. Does anybody recognize this error and knows how to fix it?

    Removing 

    set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh"

    from the configuration fixed the problem for me.

  2. I ran into this problem, and the reason was that the shell path was wrong in my .tmux.conf

    set -g default-shell /usr/local/bin/fish

    It couldn't find the shell, so it crashed. You should probably check whether your default shell's path is correct.

  3. First, I uninstalled tmux and removed its config file .tmux.conf. The thing that worked for me was deleting tmp/tmux-1000 directory, and then installing tmux again. It seemed to me that tmux was using the default file present in tmp/tmux-1000 directory every time it was being started and very importantly this directory is not being deleted on uninstalling tmux
