I'm still getting this problem at least once a day and its beginning to make
tmux unusable for me. To summarize the problem again, tmux starts to freeze
intermittently after periods of use ranging from 3-8 hours. During
intermittent freezes, tmux doesn't act on keyboard events quickly, freezes
for about 3-5 seconds then all pent up keyboard events would be acted upon
(whether they are tmux commands or keyboard events to programs running in a
tmux window). After every freeze, there is a period of 5-10 minutes where
tmux behaves normally, and then I see the freeze again. The only solution to
this problem is to close everything, including tmux, and restart everything.
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 from scratch on two separate machines and installed
tmux using apt-get. Even after I did that 'tmux -V' does not work, but I
found out that the version is 1.3 by typing :info at tmux command mode.
Here is how my usual tmux session looks like:
1- I run tmux in a custom compiled urxvt terminal, but I've also seen the
problem happen in stock gnome-terminal that comes with Ubuntu 10.10.
2- I aliased tmux to tmux -2 to force 256 colors.
3- My usual tmux session looks like this:
* 1 window for finch (a command line IM client) with activity monitoring
turned on.
* 2-3 windows with vim open in them editing files.
* 2-3 windows with ssh sessions open in them.
If you need my .tmux.conf file you can see it here:
https://github.com/satiani/init/blob/master/.tmux.conf
I'm willing to collect any more information you want me to, I love tmux and
would be distressed if I had to drop it and go back to screen because of the
frequent freezes.
Many thanks,
Samer
