Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce:
open mate-terminal $ sudo apt install vim $ vim test.txt Note that vim is in black and white only. $ export TERM=xterm-256color $ vim test.txt Now vim is in glorious technicolor :-) It seems that the TERM environment is set to a non-color mode by mate- terminal. -- Note: I use the `dracula` theme for vim - my dotfiles are at github.com/diddledan/dotfiles if you want to duplicate my setup. I use vcsh and there are submodules for my vim plugins and theme so: $ vcsh clone https://github.com/diddledan/dotfiles.git $ vcsh dotfiles submodule init $ vcsh dotfiles submodule update -- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: mate-terminal 1.20.0-4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: MATE Date: Tue May 1 17:15:53 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-04-27 (3 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) SourcePackage: mate-terminal UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: mate-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768296 Title: Mate Terminal sets TERM to `xterm` thereby disabling vim color support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-terminal/+bug/1768296/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
