Vi Error 'E185: Cannot find color scheme 'morning' in freshly installed ubuntu 14.04.3

Copied all ~/.vim folder to newly installed ubuntu box. But vi is complaining on start up. "E185: Cannot find color scheme 'morning'" Because at default it's using vim.tiny. qyang@ubuntu:~$ ll /etc/alternatives/vi lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 6 13:24 /etc/alternatives/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.tiny* In old ubuntu box: qyang@lgm-pc:~$ ll /etc/alternatives/vi lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 15 2015 /etc/alternatives/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.gnome Installing vim-gnome fixed this issue. ($sudo apt-get install vim-gnome)
