My Lord! For the life of me, I can't get VIM to use my native color scheme (desert) in mate-terminal.
I followed a couple of tutorials online that involve installing ncurses-term (which is supposed to provide /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color but doesn't). Nothing I've done has worked! The color scheme works flawlessly if I run xterm manually, but relative to mate-terminal, xterm is kinda garbage and I'd prefer not to use it.
Here's the meat of my bashrc: https://github.com/mattspitz/dotfiles/b ... bashrc_inc
And here's my vimrc: https://github.com/mattspitz/dotfiles/b ... ter/.vimrc
Any advice? Thanks!

Re: mate-terminal + VIM + 256 colors
Add the following line to your .bashrc:
TERM=xterm-256color
Logout and then log back in.
Then, type 'tput colors' into your terminal. The output should be 256, and at that point your vim colorschemes should all work just fine.
Good luck.
