					* tmux doesn't start with "daemon failed"
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					tmux shows something similar to this when started:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    fatal: server_start: daemon failed: No such file or directory
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    fatal: main_dispatch: imsg_read failed
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					A possible reason is that /dev/null is not a character device or is otherwise
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					inaccessible.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Check with:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    file /dev/null
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    ls -l /dev/null
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					If it is not a character device or has incorrect permissions, it can typically
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					be recreated with:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    cd /dev && rm null && ./MAKEDEV null
