I'm trying to learn tmux, but cannot even start it properly. I launch it from my menu like this: and get this output: And nothing happens. If i hit some keys the cursor moves around and that's it. If i hit enter i get out from tmux like this: What am I doing wrong? I read some guides (arch wiki, etc...) but haven't found anything about this. I'm on Bork with the default ~/.tmux.conf, though the same happens in Smoothie in a virtual machine.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried commenting those lines in the config? Will it start then?

Edit: seems like those mouse options won't work anymore with tmux 2.1.

tmux 2.1 doesn't support the individual mouse settings. It replaced them with a single setting, mouse, which can be set with set -g mouse on in your ~/.tmux.conf.

Oh, good to know. Anyway, I've commented the lines but this persists:

Try just starting a terminal, and then type "tmux" (no arguments.) If that does not work, change to root, make sure it has no local .tmux.conf and try tmux there: If root works with no errors there is something wrong in your user's config files.

what pidsley says, or simply copy one of the examples from /usr/share/doc/tmux/examples/ to ~/.tmux.conf

Thanks guys. It works for root. Going to replace that config file.

BTW, this happens both in Bork and Smoothie. It seems the default ~/.tmux.conf files in these spins are not good anymore for the current tmux version.

Yup, that's true.
