More details please. What did you try? Which file did you edit?

Can you show us the file?

i'm chinese so i use ibus-pinyin to input chinese characters,
but ibus didn't work with opera,
after i google the problem, the solution is to put
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim

into .bashrc

but now i found 'echo $XMODIFIERS' is null so the .bashrc seems didn't work

You need to source the file. Type

. ~/.bashrc

in the terminal and check 'echo $XMODIFIERS' again. It works like this for me

[karol@black ~]$ echo $XMODIFIERS
@im=ibus

of course, after

. ~/.bashrc

the $XMODIFIERS is not null,but when i use ubuntu, the .bashrc will be run when i login gnome,why the arch didn't

Do check if you added those entries to the .bashrc of the correct user.

Check your .bash_profile and see if it includes this line:

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

if it doesn't have this line, add it. If you don't even have this file, create it and put that line there.

When used as a login shell bash tries to read ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order. Thus you need to source your ~.bashrc from one of these. Usually there is a ~/.bash_profile containing containing (as in my system):

Source the .bashrc settings:
. $HOME/.bashrc

# Make sure the users bin directory will be searched in first place.
if [ -d $HOME/bin ]
then
    export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
fi

# Make GTK use native windowing (for flash UI elements)
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

Moderator: Fengya, Somehow you had several copies of the same post. I cleaned that up. If the problem is resolved, please go ahead and edit your first post, use the option to edit the thread title, and add [SOLVED] to the title.

Thanks
