Notice “-clipboard” and “-xterm_clipboard”. This also causes + and * registers not to work.

status: | New → Confirmed |
Temporary solution.
I just removed vim package and compiled vim myself. I used the following configure command to get +clipboard and +xterm_clipboard:
./configure --with-features=big --enable-cscope --enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-multibyte
The following development packages are required (most installed in Ubuntu by default):
libncurses5-dev
libgtk2.0-dev
libatk1.0-dev
libx11-dev
libxt-dev
