I'm using the standard apple terminal with zsh
as my default shell.
In my ~/.zprofile
(equivalent of .profile
) I have the following line:
[[ $TERM != "screen" ]] && exec tmux
This basically makes shure that if I open a new window in zsh
a new
tmux
session is started, but tmux
doesn't get started from within zsh
sessions running inside tmux
subwindows.
This works fine but for one thing: I cannot start XQuartz. Everytime I launch an from the command line that requires X11 (like a gnuplot
or octave
plot) the terminal just hangs and nothing happens.
However, I noticed that when I just disable the auto-launching of tmux
by removing the line above so that I can open a new terminal window and launch XQuartz from there, I can also use the launched XQuartz from within tmux
windows.
This however gets pretty tiresome.
How could I fix this?
