Can't see my * register.

[Ney]

I'm on Mint 12 and using vim on gnome-terminal.
I can't paste the content of my clipboard into vim because the *
register disappeared.
Usually i typed "*p and the clipboard was there.

Thanks

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.

Thank you Tim Chase, i installed vim-gnome and the * reg is here
again.

I was just trying to keep away from the gtk version, anyway, the
terminal vim is working fine now.

Thank You.

Ney.
