Vundle - Plugins installed but not loading

I've installed vundle on my ubuntu box but when I load vim none of the plugins load. My vimrc:

runtime! debian.vim
set nocompatible              " be iMproved, required
filetype off                  " required

" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
"set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle
call vundle#begin()
" alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins
"call vundle#begin('~/some/path/here')

" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
Plugin 'reedes/vim-thematic'
Plugin 'bling/vim-airline'

" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>All of your Plugins must be added before the following line
call vundle#end()            " required
filetype plugin indent on    " required
" To ignore plugin indent changes, instead use:
"filetype plugin on
"
" Brief help
" :PluginList          - list configured plugins

" All system-wide defaults are set in $VIMRUNTIME/debian.vim and sourced by
" the call to :runtime you can find below.  If you wish to change any of those
" settings, you should do it in this file (/etc/vim/vimrc), since debian.vim
" will be overwritten everytime an upgrade of the vim packages is performed.
" It is recommended to make changes after sourcing debian.vim since it alters
" the value of the 'compatible' option.

" This line should not be removed as it ensures that various options are
" properly set to work with the Vim-related packages available in Debian.
" runtime! debian.vim

" Uncomment the next line to make Vim more Vi-compatible
" NOTE: debian.vim sets 'nocompatible'.  Setting 'compatible' changes numerous
" options, so any other options should be set AFTER setting 'compatible'.
"set compatible

" Vim5 and later versions support syntax highlighting. Uncommenting the next
" line enables syntax highlighting by default.
"if has("syntax")
syntax on
set number
set ruler
"endif

" If using a dark background within the editing area and syntax highlighting
" turn on this option as well
"set background=dark

" Uncomment the following to have Vim jump to the last position when
" reopening a file
"if has("autocmd")
"  au BufReadPost * if line("'\"") > 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") | exe "normal! g'\"" | endif
"endif

" Uncomment the following to have Vim load indentation rules and plugins
" according to the detected filetype.
"if has("autocmd")
"  filetype plugin indent on
"endif

" The following are commented out as they cause vim to behave a lot
" differently from regular Vi. They are highly recommended though.
"set showcmd        " Show (partial) command in status line.
"set showmatch      " Show matching brackets.
"set ignorecase     " Do case insensitive matching
"set smartcase      " Do smart case matching
"set incsearch      " Incremental search
"set autowrite      " Automatically save before commands like :next and :make
"set hidden     " Hide buffers when they are abandoned
"set mouse=a        " Enable mouse usage (all modes)

" Source a global configuration file if available
if filereadable("/etc/vim/vimrc.local")
  source /etc/vim/vimrc.local
endif

I haven't changed any other settings, this is my first attempt at using Vim plugins.

1. Never do anything in /etc/vim

   • Because Vim follows a strict loading order and messing with the default files and directories will make Vim unstable. Some of the things you may do may work, others may not… it's only you and your luck.

   • Because subsequent upgrades will overwrite some or all of your changes, making them pointless.

   • Because it is customary and good practice on every operating system — and, well… in real life too — to do your configuration in your $HOME.

2. You must create ~/.vim/ and ~/.vimrc yourself.

   Because it is well behaved, Vim doesn't do anything in your $HOME upon installation. It is your responsibility to create the files and directories necessary for customization:

   $ cd
   $ mkdir .vim
   $ touch .vimrc
   

   At that point, you should have an empty ~/.vim directory and an empty ~/.vimrc file. You seem to already have a ~/.vim/ directory so you can skip that step.

3. Revert /etc/vim to its pristine state.

   Remove anything you added to /etc/vim. If unsure, uninstalling and re-installing the vim-gnome or vim-gtk package should help.

4. Redo all your configuration in $HOME.

   If you insist on using Vundle, this is what your ~/.vimrc should look like:

   filetype off
   
   set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
   call vundle#begin()
   
   Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
   Plugin 'reedes/vim-thematic'
   Plugin 'bling/vim-airline'
   
   call vundle#end()
   
   filetype plugin indent on
   

5. Actually install your plugins.

   Write your ~/.vimrc to disk and quit Vim with:

   :wq
   

   and issue the following command:

   $ vim +PluginInstall
   

As a new Vim users you should find more productive ways to spend your time and brain cells than messing with the pointless plugins you are trying to install using a similarly pointless plugin manager, especially if you don't have a good knowledge of the UNIX command-line. Here is a non-exhaustive list of suggestions:

• get more familiar with the command-line and the UNIX way in general,
• follow $ vimtutor at least a couple of times,
• read the first 30 or so lines of :help and commit them to memory as they are the most useful Vim commands you'll ever learn,
• read :help usr_01.txt through, at least, :help usr_08.txt.

Until you are more comfortable with the whole thing I'd advise you to stay away from plugins (and unnecessary plugin managers) so that you can concentrate on Vim itself.
