TPM is apparently installing plugins but they are not loaded. Windows 10 WSL2 Ubuntu.

Hi,

I am using: Windows 10, WSL2, Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. I have installed: tmux 3.3a with brew install tmux. Then I did: git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm And added the following configuration file ~/.tmux.conf:

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

unbind %
bind | split-window -h 

unbind '"'
bind - split-window -v

unbind r
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf

bind -r j resize-pane -D 5
bind -r k resize-pane -U 5
bind -r l resize-pane -R 5
bind -r h resize-pane -L 5

bind -r m resize-pane -Z

set -g mouse on

set-window-option -g mode-keys vi

bind-key -T copy-mode-vi 'v' send -X begin-selection # start selecting text with "v"
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi 'y' send -X copy-selection # copy text with "y"

unbind -T copy-mode-vi MouseDragEnd1Pane # don't exit copy mode when dragging with mouse

# remove delay for exiting insert mode with ESC in Neovim
set -sg escape-time 10

# tpm plugin
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'

# list of tmux plugins
set -g @plugin 'christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator'
set -g @plugin 'jimeh/tmux-themepack'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect' # persist tmux sessions after computer restart
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum' # automatically saves sessions for you every 15 minutes

set -g @themepack 'powerline/default/cyan'

set -g @resurrect-capture-pane-contents 'on'
set -g @continuum-restore 'on'

# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

After that I opened a tmux session and press Ctrl+b Shift+i. I see the following output:

Already installed "tpm"
Installing "vim-tmux-navigator"
   "vim-tmux-navigator" download success
Installing "tmux-themepack"
   "tmux-themepack" download success
Installing "tmux-resurrect"
   "tmux-resurrect" download success
Installing "tmux-continuum"
   "tmux-continuum" download success

TMUX environment reloaded

Done, press ENTER to continue

However, none of the plugins are working. I have tried to follow the same procedure in my machine with Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS and everything works fine. However, with Windows 10, WSL2, Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS it is not working. I have another machine with Windows 11, WSL2, Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and everything is working fine.

Additionally, I have the following bash version (Just in case it helps...):

I have seen other people mentioning problems with TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH env variable, but I see it is set correctly when I am in a tmux session.
