Commands not executing

Greetings, I recently updated my kubuntu to 23.10 and for some strange reason, when I execute my tmuxp script, the script no longer executes commands written in the script.
If you look at the script linked below, you'll see that the script is suppose to execute a few command in certain windows. (mc, ranger, ssh egwfw, weechat). However all I see is the commands on each of the respective terminal command line but not executed.
What has changed? I've been using this same script for years now.

thanks in advance

@iomari Hi! Can you do it without the pastebin? But instead wrap it in this:

Thank you

Also, can you provide these?

  • tmux -V
  • python -V
  • which pip
  • which python
  • which tmuxp
  • pip show libtmux
  • pip show tmuxp
  • echo $PATH
  • echo $SHELL

I can't solve the problem for you, but I think there is an issue with the system's python setup:

  • which shows multiple outputs, some with multiple slashes
  • ~/.local/bin/tmuxp exists, but pip show tmuxp and pip show libtmux is empty
    • what does ls -a ~/.local/bin/tmuxp point to?
  • does tmuxp -V work? what does it show?
  • does tmuxp debug-info work? what does it show?

I also don't want to give advice - as I don't want to risk complicating your setup more: But in my experience I've cleared out my python setup completely between distribution upgrades. Familiarizing with where user / system python packages are stored would alleviate what data to clear out.

You should see something like this (if you use pip install --user --upgrade tmuxp):

❯ tmuxp -V
tmuxp 1.32.1, libtmux 0.24.1

Note: However, pip install --user --upgrade tmuxp won't be effective if there's old artifacts inside of ~/.local/bin and site-packages.

I've resolved the double slashes. However I think the problem may have something to do with Ubuntu variants don't use pip/pip3 anymore. Instead we have to use pipx which installs in it's own virtual environment then links executables:

ls -la /home/iomari/.local/bin/tmuxp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 iomari iomari 46 Dec  2 12:11 /home/iomari/.local/bin/tmuxp -> /home/iomari/.local/pipx/venvs/tmuxp/bin/tmuxp

I think that's why my tmuxp issue started when I upgrade to 23.10.

I can no longer use pip in kubuntu23.10.
anything I try to install with pip returns:

`pip3 install pycrypto
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.

If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
