The version of vim that you are using was probably not compiled with
support for X11 or the clipboard. You can check this by executing
:version
Ubuntu has several packages that include vim:
package binary X11
--------- ------------------ ---
vim /usr/bin/vim.basic No
vim-tiny /usr/bin/vim.tiny No
vim-gnome /usr/bin/vim.gnome Yes
One of these is linked to /usr/bin/vim via /etc/alternatives/vim.
You can find out which by executing
ls -l /etc/alternatives/vim
I think that all you have to do is install the vim-gnome package and
you'll get what you want.
