I'm SSH'ing into my RaspPi (Raspbian) with PuTTY and I want to user tmux in order not to worry about a connection ending while I'm installing something. My Problem is, that when I call tmux from a bash session and I scroll upwards, I don't see the previous lines of my tmux session, but of my plain bash session. Is there any way to fix this?

  • `screen` (similar to `tmux`) keeps its own scrollback buffer, and to browse it you have to use the method it defines. `tmux` probably has something similar. The reason you're not seeing the scrollback is because the text isn't really scrolling off the top of the screen when using these programs. – Steve Apr 27 '15 at 20:21
  • Yep, that's how it works. See linked duplicate question. – Steve Apr 27 '15 at 20:21
  • @Steve Yeah i figured that out already. But isn't there any way to "fix" this? – 0x539 Apr 27 '15 at 20:31
  • While I'm not familiar with `tmux`, it's very likely that you would have to modify that program the change its behavior, which is possible because it's open source. – Steve Apr 27 '15 at 20:33
  • When you "switch" to a different screen with `tmux`, where would that scroll-back data go for the other windows, since that scrollback buffer is maintained by your terminal emulator, and not the system you're connected to? – Steve Apr 27 '15 at 20:34
