It's unclear to me how the owner of ~/.vim
got set to root
but Vundle will definitely have trouble updating packages if that is the case.
If I understand correctly, in that you now have Vim installed how you want it, I suggest redoing the customization process.
Move ~/.vim
(for reference) and create the bundle
directory where Vundle will be installed:
$ sudo mv ~/.vim ~/OLDvim
$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
This should now be an empty dir
owned by your user.
Reinstall Vundle
$ git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
Make sure you have the required lines in your ~/.vimrc
,
- open vim and
- run
:BundleInstall
Once you got it working and you're happy with everything, you can rm -rf ~/OLDvim
.
