vim in 14.04 (Trusty) starts up in Replace mode

772

I just deployed a handful of 14.04 systems and I'm noticing that whenever I vim something, vim is already in replace mode.

As I'm used to being in command mode on starting, this is rather disorienting.

Any idea why? I don't see any obvious culprits in /etc/vim/vimrc, but this happens with every user on the system.

Installed relevant packages:

$ aptitude search vim | grep ^i
i   vim                             - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
i   vim-common                      - Vi IMproved - Common files
i   vim-nox                         - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with sc
i   vim-runtime                     - Vi IMproved - Runtime files
i   vim-tiny                        - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - compact

vim -V output:

Is your locale set correctly?

I was having this problem until a few minutes ago, I eventually traced it to misconfigured locales.

Fixed the config files and ran locale-gen, then source /etc/profile (or better, reboot) and vim behaved properly. No more starting up in replace mode.

I'm on Arch linux so I won't post the exact steps, but maybe you have a variation on the same problem.

Try using this command

$ sudo apt-get remove vim
$ sudo apt-get install vim-gnome

even if you are using a different version of ubunutu, this version of vim is the best for ubuntu
