I'm not sure how to diagnose this issue further. I recently did a brew upgrade of a lot of stuff, one of which was byobu and it fails to even startup spitting out this as the error:
^[[?62;4c[exited]
Obviously the upgrade could have installed a dependency that messed things up as well. Any recommendations of where to look? Or what steps to take to root cause the problem?
I tried exporting this variable first which did not change the outcome:
export BYOBU_RUN_DIR=$HOME/.byobu/run/
Running tmux does start fine, but not byobu. Any other help is appreciated. If you need me to include any other info let me know.
Byobu version:
byobu --version
byobu version 5.133
tmux 3.1
Mac version:
10.15.4 Catalina
There was a version mismatch issue. It turns out the tmux I was defaulting to was an old version, not the one showing when running byobu --version, but one installed by a very old oh-my-zsh plugin. Once I removed the plugin so it pointed to the correct tmux later version everything worked again.
Any tmux command I ran said something like tmux server version is too old for client which led me to run which tmux which pointed to the old, incorrect version.
