VIM Solarized colorscheme with ubuntu terminal

I am trying to get the solarized colorscheme to work. But there seems I have to do something else then putting this few lines in my .vimrc:

syntax enable
let g:solarized_termcolors=256                                                  
set background=dark                                                             
colorscheme solarized

But when I put the line with termcolor:256 in.Then I dont see any colors. Without it every color has a bad backgroundcolor :/

I am running the latest linux mint with the terminal.

Solution

  • Enable 256 colors in vim:

    set t_Co=256
