[ Solved ] tmux exiting automatically in my primary user, but works..

prateek13 · 2014-01-07 12:02:40

Hi everyone,

tmux on my primary user exits automatically within ~1 second of launching it, I created a dummy test user, belonging only to the group 'users', and it works fine on it, also, it works normally in root,

here are the `strace tmux` output for both normal and root user (in root, tmux is terminated with exit command)

https://gist.github.com/prateek-khandelwal/8298091

can anyone suggest what should I do ?

Thanks,

Delete or move your ~/.tmux.conf and try again

prateek13 · 2014-01-07 12:48:56

I did try that, the issue persists..

118 connect(6, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL, sun_path="/tmp/tmux-1000/default"}, 24) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)

Looks like you may have access problems with /tmp

it is showing drwx for user, which is me, the thing is tmux starts, but for a very short time (~2 seconds)

Trilby · 2014-01-07 13:38:48

How about `ls -l /tmp/tmux-1000/default`

I'm seeing in your stack trace your user has a .tmux.conf that it finds and loads. Did you delete it after running your stack trace?

Edit: Also, when you say it 'loads', do you mean you get a shell and then it closes or do you just see what looks like a cursor and it exits?

Edit 2: My tmux socket has execute permissions. However I also noted that your root's stack trace has the same error on line 119 so this may not be the source of the problem.

yes, my bad, I have just uploaded the the strace without .tmux.conf. on the same link

pilotkeller · 2014-01-07 13:59:56

Yeah, I'm getting nothing from this. Can I get you to run tmux with -v?

Why is your tmux binary in /usr/local ?

execve("/usr/local/bin/tmux",

prateek13 · 2014-01-07 14:05:50

Yes, I just saw that, there are a lots of 'lost client' messages in bas server, I have uploaded the server logs on the same link. please check

[the comand not found gibberish in the test server log comes from powerline, which is installed only for my primary user]

@alphaniner: Those traces (normal_trace and root_trace) are belong to the installation of tmux v1.6 which I did manually, I thought that the problem was in the recent package.. sorry for the confusion..

You should have stated that from the start. Manually installing packages from source in Arch isn't the way to go; see the wiki pages on makepkg, ABS and the AUR. In the meantime, you should delete all traces of what you installed, reinstall the current version and start troubleshooting again.

@anoknusa: sure, thnx for the advice, now that you've put it this way, I think I messed things up while trying to get powerline working...

prateek13 · 2014-01-07 15:33:40

Okay, so here's the real issue,

The reason for the premature exit is using powerline in bash and in tmux at the same time. Tmux exits while loading the directory tag for the shell.. If I do not enable powerline plugin in bash, tmux works fine.. that was the reason it was working in my non primary users, as I had not enabled powerline plugin in those shells.

Thanks a lot people ! I appreciate your help. !
