byobu+tmux 2 'who am i' command does not work

[shakeel]

Using Ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS

There was a bug in older version of tmux prior to version 2 where 'who am i' would return blank from within byobu/tmux

I used the repository ppa:byobu/ppa to upgrade the version of tmux and byobu.

The command 'who am i' now works from within byobu, but has stopped working from a normal terminal.

I need the output from 'who am i' to work from both the terminal and byobu. Any ideas on how to fix it?

strace tail output from tmux2 running who -m:

ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_NEXT_DEVICE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0

I'm sorry, I have no idea why "who am i" doesn't work outside of Byobu (but I have confirmed that is the case). I just can't fix that for you :-)
