.tmux.conf being ignored

[mircsicz]

Hi hi,

so far I've been using your awesome config for several month on my mac. But I can't use it on fedora, it seems to be ignored and if I try to manually load it from within a tmux (tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf) window I get the following feedback:

'cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -s _apply_configuration' returned 2

hope yoou got a hint...

[gpakosz]

Hello @mircsicz 👋

Can you please launch tmux and then from a page run

$ cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -sx _apply_configuration

And paste the output here?

[mircsicz]

@gpakosz thx for taking the time

mircsicz@M720q:~$ cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -sx _apply_configuration

So far I have no idea.

• Can you please make sure you're running the most recent commit of `.tmux.conf?
• Can you please make sure you didn't modify .tmux.conf?
• Can you please tell me which version of Fedora you're running, and which shell?

• Can you please make sure you didn't modify .tmux.conf?

see my "git pull"

• Can you please tell me which version of Fedora you're running, and which shell?

mircsicz@M720q ~ $  cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 36 (Thirty Six)
mircsicz@M720q ~ $  bash --version
GNU bash, Version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

[gpakosz]

Which version of perl do you have?

[mircsicz]

mircsicz@M720q ~ $ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 34, subversion 1 (v5.34.1) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

[gpakosz]

I can't reproduce your issue so far

$ vagrant init generic/fedora36
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
$ cd
$ sudo dnf -y install tmux
$ git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git
$ ln -s .tmux/.tmux.conf
$ tmux

[mircsicz]

I've two physical machines and one vm all quite fresh setup, all with same config'S deployed by ansible where it hits:

[gpakosz]

Can you share that ansible conf?

[mircsicz]

Sure, just installing vagrant to reproduce your test... Gi'me a sec

EDIT: To create the screenshot I've deleted the symlinks and recreated them manually on each of the three hosts!

[gpakosz]

Do you have set -H or histchars=! in .bash_profile or .profile?

[mircsicz]

Doesn't look like:

mircsicz@fedora ~ $  grep 'set -H|histchars=!' .bash_profile
mircsicz@fedora ~ $  grep 'set -H|histchars=!' .profile
mircsicz@fedora ~ $  grep 'histchars=!' .profile
mircsicz@fedora ~ $  grep 'histchars=!' .bash_profile
mircsicz@fedora ~ $  grep 'set -H' .profile
mircsicz@fedora ~ $  grep 'set -H' .bash_profile
mircsicz@fedora ~ $  grep 'hist' .bashrc
# don't put duplicate lines or lines starting with space in the history.
# append to the history file, don't overwrite it
shopt -s histappend

EDIT: vagrant retest is WIP:

Can you please share the content of your .bash_profile, .profile and .bashrc?

none of those:

[gpakosz]

The problem is caused by export SHELLOPTS

[mircsicz]

Arggghhh

[gpakosz]

Can you please try the gh-582 branch?

[mircsicz]

Gi'me a sec just testing without, ansible is currently deploying it...

[mircsicz]

Can you please try the gh-582 branch?

Awesome, after rolling back to my .bash_profile with "export SHELLOPTS" and a 'git switch gh-582' I can finally start tmux and see your config <3

[gpakosz]

Thanks I will merge the gh-582 branch which will close this issue.

Not sure export SHELLOPTS is a good idea though 🙂
