Bug Description
Distribution: Ubuntu 21.10, x64
byobu package version: 5.133-0ubuntu1
tmux package version: 3.1c1build1
Steps to reproduce:
Configure byobu to use tmux.
Ensure there is no tmux server running with socket "/tmp/tmux-
Add a syntax error to "$HOME/
In a terminal window, run "byobu".
Observed results:
tmux exits with an error. The tmux error message is suppressed, and the only visible output on the terminal is "no server running on /tmp/tmux-
Expected results:
The error messages from both tmux and byobu are visible in the terminal.
Workaround: Run "tmux new" in a different terminal before running "byobu". If the tmux server is already running, then byobu will correctly display the tmux errror message, allowing the user to diagnose and correct the error.
