I just started with vim in ubuntu, and have some trouble setting up my .vimrc file. This is what I currently have:

 "============= Solarized color theme  =============                             

 "https://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized                            

 syntax enable                   "Use syntax highlighting                        

 set background=dark             "Use dark color scheme                          

 colorscheme solarized           "Choose solarized                               



 "============= Settings =============                                           

 set nocompatible                "Necesary for cool vim things                   

 set number                      "Line numbers                                   

 set colorcolumn=80              "Have a line after 80 char                      

 set ruler                       "Add ruler at the bottom of vim                 

 set cursorline  

However, when I can't see my cursorline and the colorcolumn with these settings. If I don't use the solarized color syntax, I do see them. Do you guys know what I am doing wrong?
