I've tried to install vim-latex via:

sudo apt-get install vim-latexsuite
vim-addon-manager install latex-suite

I have added to my .vimrc

filetype plugin on
let g:tex_flavor='latex'

When I start vim with a *.tex file I get no menus. I first tried to manually install and that also did not work. Has anyone else had this problem?

If you do :h ls_1 after opening a .tex file, what happens? – muru Sep 20 '15 at 04:11
I get the help pages for the suite. – Chris Sep 20 '15 at 04:13
Then the plugin seems to be detected and loaded fine. What is it you expect? (I have not used it, so I don't know what these "menus" you are talking of are.) What about other functionality that the plugin offers? – muru Sep 20 '15 at 04:14
When you open a .tex file you should get some menus, template options, etc. – Chris Sep 20 '15 at 04:15
I see. What about other functionality, like mappings? – muru Sep 20 '15 at 04:18
These seem to be functioning. – Chris Sep 20 '15 at 04:18

Just to confirm: the .tex files you're editing are non-existent, right? What if you run :TTemplate? – muru Sep 20 '15 at 04:20
Aha this works! – Chris Sep 20 '15 at 04:20
:TTemplate does the trick (still no menus but I suppose everything else is in line) – Chris Sep 20 '15 at 04:25

In my system vim has no menus; gvim shows them by default. See also http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43526/is-it-possible-to-create-and-use-menus-in-terminal-based-vim and :h console-menus – Rmano Sep 20 '15 at 11:50
