By default, Ubuntu installs the vim-tiny package, which is a ultra-light version of the console "vim" only.
Most people should simply install the vim-gtk (or vim-gnome) package. This package will provide both the graphical "gvim" and the console "vim", but in a "huge" configuration that includes support for the clipboard. It is not necessary to uninstall vim-tiny first. If you really don't want any gui support (i.e. you have no X libraries installed), then you should install the vim package, which is the full "huge" configuration for the console "vim". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- message from margo in http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10752654&postcount=9 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837882 Title: Vim on Ubuntu is compiled without clipboard and xterm_clipboard support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/837882/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
