[Bug 382253] Re: vim-latexsuite does not show tex-suite menus and no functionality

[Walter Lapchynski]

#6 fixed it.

i'll also point out http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite/recommended-settings.html:
" OPTIONAL: Starting with Vim 7, the filetype of empty .tex files defaults to
" 'plaintex' instead of 'tex', which results in vim-latex not being loaded.
" The following changes the default filetype back to 'tex':
let g:tex_flavor='latex

Title:
  vim-latexsuite does not show tex-suite menus and no functionality

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “vim-latexsuite” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim-full

  Steps to reproduce:
  install vim-full (this also installs some 35-36MB of stuff)
  install vim-latexsuite (vim-addon-manager is automatically installed)

  open a fresh .tex file, nothing special happens
  check for own errors, none... ;-)
  google the subject: 
  Suggestion 1: use vim-addon-manager with :~$ sudo vim-addons -w install latex-suite   --- no success

  Suggestion 2: add the line to .vimrc: let g:tex_flavor='tex' (or 'latex')                                
  This fix was suggested on http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4344905&postcount=6
                                                                                                                                                  --- highlighting works now but no TeX-Suite Menus and not functionality

  Suggestion 3: add the line to .vimrc: set
  runtimepath+=/usr/share/vim/addons/                --- results in
  duplicate error, as I had two versions of latexsuite installed. (see
  below)

  This is NOT:
  Bug No.s     ---    Different to my bug because 
    #225411     ---    
    #42283       ---    it also does not work for me in vim or gvim from command line
    #225943     ---    the file-extension .latex also doesn't work (and I fixed the extension thing see above)
    #81374       ---    the version of latex-suite from sourceforge did not work either
    #306840     ---    solution did not work 
    #137205     ---    no helpful solution 
    #42283  however seems to be the thing that gvim has a bug here but the solution to add sid to the sources.list is not a real solution because it has the potential to break lots of things.

  # Name                     User Status  System Status

  matchit                     removed       removed

  I have tried to install the latex-suite just for the User, the problem persists, I have installed it for both user und System wide, and there is an Error:
  Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/addons/plugin/remoteOpen.vim:
