I just recently reset my system to reinstall everything properly. While recompiling vim I noticed that it actually installs GUI too. Go figure. It's probably due to gtk2 in my configure line.
So here's my summary on this bug and the way Vim is packaged in Ubuntu. I think the reason for this problem is "vim" package because it seems redundant and confuses users being just pumped up version of vim-tiny package with little integration into desktop. I never knew vim-gtk and vim-gnome existed in the first place, so "vim" always sounded like a "full, desktop version" to me. Thus, the bug now doesn't affect me but all in all it's still a bug on it's own. The resolution in my opinion is either to rename this package to vim-console or simply remove it. As far as I understand it exists only for those who don't use any desktop environment or even X but still need more features than vim-tiny. Frankly, a hard to imagine situation for me. Hats off to Gonzague Reydet for pointing me to vim-gtk and vim-gnome! -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
