.xprofile not being sourced. Trying to use nabi to type Korean.

Hi,

I installed nabi in order to type in Korean.  I created ~/.xprofile (included below) with the 6 lines the wiki instructed me to add, as well as the lines to map the right Alt key.  I added the following code in ~/.xinitrc and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (both included below) as instructed by the wiki:

[ -f /etc/xprofile ] && . /etc/xprofile
[ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile

After starting, nabi wasn't working.  I am not sure what I did wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then







    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then







    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

[ -f /etc/xprofile ] && . /etc/xprofile
[ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile

twm &
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
~

Here is ~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then







    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then







    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

[ -f /etc/xprofile ] && . /etc/xprofile
[ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile

Re: .xprofile not being sourced. Trying to use nabi to type Korean.

How do you start your session?
If the answer isn't either of "startx, xinit or xdm" your xinitrc is likely irrelevant (certainly most DMs don't use it by default).

If your xinitrc is actuallly used, check whether "nabi wasn't working" indeed means "xprofile isn't used"

echo $XIM

Re: .xprofile not being sourced. Trying to use nabi to type Korean.

Hey, thanks for the reply.  I do use "startx" to start my session.

Here is the text from xterm.

[lance@archlinux ~]$ echo $XIM
nabi
[lance@archlinux ~]$ 

Sorry I falsely equated.  I now realize they could be completely different statements.

Does this mean I have two conflicting packages installed?

Re: .xprofile not being sourced. Trying to use nabi to type Korean.

No, but there's no "nabi" process running, while the wiki suggests there would.
Try starting it explicitly (I've no direct experience w/ this and don't know whether it's supposed to be autostarted by xim or whatever - or whether it's actually important for the module)

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

Is this what you meant?

[lance@archlinux ~]$ nabi
[lance@archlinux ~]$ ps aux | grep nabi
lance      21842  0.0  0.0   3256  1592 pts/1    S+   20:01   0:00 grep nabi

Re: .xprofile not being sourced. Trying to use nabi to type Korean.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Locali … orean#Nabi says

Once you restart the X session, nabi will autostart by default.

There's probably more explanation in https://code.google.com/archive/p/nabi/ or https://github.com/libhangul/nabi but it's all Korean.
What's a bit suspicious is that nabi seems inactive for a couple of years now. And there's https://github.com/libhangul/nabi/issues/3 (in case you're testing this w/ some  Qt5 client)

Ok, thanks.  I have restarted the computer a few times since then.
