Hi, have you ever tried tmux 3.3a?

[PiyushPawar17]

@xiaosq2000 I've tried tmux 3.2a (installed via apt)

I suggest you checking if the path, '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' is correct. I have just reduplicated your setup (Ubuntu 22.04 in Docker, with tmux 3.4) with a wrong path, and it returned 127.

Yes, the path is correct. Yours might be returning 127 because you might not have cloned tpm into ~/.tmux/plugins. I had this issue earlier and realized that I had not installed the tpm.
