Unable to toggle mouse mode

[sidazhang]

I use <prefix>M to try to toggle mouse mode. Unfortunately, this is what I got

'cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -s toggle_mouse' returned 1

And mouse mode was not triggered.

I am on OSX 10.10.5 and have zsh

The master branch is for tmux HEAD (that you compile from source or install with e.g. brew install --HEAD tmux).

I suspect you're either:

• running tmux HEAD while using the 1.9 or 2.0 branch
• running tmux 1.9 or 2.0 while using the master branch

@gpakosz That was indeed the problem. It was my oversight.

I have switched the branch to 2.0 and now it is working perfectly.

Thank you

[gpakosz]

You're welcome

I added 5133275 which should prevent people from facing this issue since it's not immediately obvious you have to make a branch choice.

Having this issue as well. Just did a fresh git clone, linked the files and so on just like in the description.
Have SSH:ed into a raspberry pi, works fine on the local computer. Made sure xterm is correct as well.
Doing a "ls -lsa" shows .tmux.conf -> .tmux/.tmux.conf
When running + m I get 'cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -s _toggle_mouse' returned 2.
The theme doesn't seem to work either, however, the small little box in the titlebar is there.

I'm not sure I understand your problem

• is tmux running on the pi?
• if yes, which version.

Also can you run cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -s _toggle_mouse from your shell and copy paste anything that would get outputted?

[spaddex]

Yes, tmux is running on the pi.
It is running kali.
Ran the command, the output is:

Hmm, that's a lot to discuss...

Can you give me the output of uname -a and uname -s on the pi please?

Also, what's the shell there?

[spaddex]

uname -a --> Linux raspberrypi 4.1.19-v7 #1 SMP Tue Mar 15 15:10:00 CDT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
uname -r --> Linux
echo $SHELL --> /bin/bash

[gpakosz]

I'll get my hands on a pi to figure things out

[gpakosz]

Fixed in master. The issue was unrelated to this one. Next time, can you please open an new issue? (and eventually after analysis we decide it's a duplicate of another issue)
