Hello @thylakoids 👋

Can you please paste the whole content of $ cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -sx _apply_configuration?

[thylakoids]

cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -sx _apply_configuration > tmp.txt 2>&1:
tmp.txt

I wonder if it is related to the platform. The .tmux config works fine on ubuntu, mac, but got the issue on centos.

Can you please give me the exact CentOS version for reference?

The gh-425 should fix it. Can you please give it a try?

[thylakoids]

Thanks for your reply.

1. The exact OS version:

   $ lsb_release -a
   LSB Version:    :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch
   Distributor ID: CentOS
   Description:    CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
   Release:    7.6.1810
   Codename:   Core
   

2. I tried gh-425, it does not work, the output was different though.

   cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -sx _apply_configuration > tmp.txt 2>&1:

   tmp.txt

protocol version mismatch (client 7, server 8)

This means you have a tmux server process running that's older than the tmux client process.
Make sure you kill all tmux process and restart.

Thanks for the help, I will try it later(There are other users on this computer) and tell you the result.

[thylakoids]

After reinstall tmux, now it works boths on gh-425 and 8c342ed.

Thanks for the help.

[gpakosz]

Interesting that you don't face the command too long anymore 🤔

The new version of tmux is 2.8. Does this relate?

I am not a sudo user on that server, it's hard for me to try every combination to debug the problem.
If I ever had the chance, I'll reproduce it and let you know.:smile:
