In Ubuntu it was possible to yank some lines of text, exit Vim, open a
new Vim instance and paste the yanked lines. In debian it is necessary
to use the * register. How can I reproduce the Ubuntu behavior?

Panayiotis

Works for me with vim-nox (I don't use the gtk version). What vim
packages do you have installed? It will probably not work with vim-tiny
;)

$ dpkg -l vim* | grep ^ii
ii vim-addon-manager 0.4.3 manager of addons for the Vim editor
ii vim-common 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Vi IMproved - Common files
ii vim-gtk 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with GTK2
ii vim-gui-common 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Vi IMproved - Common GUI files
ii vim-nox 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
ii vim-runtime 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Vi IMproved - Runtime files
ii vim-scripts 20091011 plugins for vim, adding bells and whistles
ii vim-tiny 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - compact v

I had both vim-full and vim-tiny installed. Removing vim-tiny fixed
this. Rather strange.
Thank you.

I'm guessing you were running vim-tiny. JFTA, you could have changed it
with

update-alternatives --config vim

There is only one alternative for vim even with vim-tiny installed:
vim.gnome. Strange, but since my problem is solved...
