Which build of Vim are you running? This is a common symptom of running a stripped-down "vim-tiny", "vim-nox" or "vim-minimal" rather than the full build. I think Mint is a Debian derivative, so you may be able to "sudo apt-get install vim-gtk" or "sudo apt-get install vim-gnome" to install the full variant. If they're already installed, you might have to issue
for alt in vi vim editor gvim; do sudo update-alternatives --config $alt; done
(there might be a couple other alternatives that, if you use them, you'd want to check).
You can verify by looking at the output of ":version" for whether the build you're running has "+clipboard" and/or "+xterm_clipboard" set.
