Asian users had long been plagued by antiX behavior.
That is that the input method (Fcitx, IBus, SCIM and uim) is not enabled by activating antiX.
Since it could be solved by changing the display manager from SLiM to others,
we were able to grasp that there was a problem with starting SLiM.
I installed Devuan today. Devuan adopted SLiM,
but I noticed that it normally start the input method.
Debian is currently using im-config to launch the input method.
This im-config puts the startup script 70im-config_launch in / etc / X11 / Xsession.d /.
I see that antiX does not reference scripts in / etc / X11 / Xsession.d /.
(Is it removing / etc / X11 / Xsession execution?)
Please tell me how to solve antiX-16.
note 1:
This has no effect on MX Linux and MEPIS. This problem is antiX only.

Details within this debian bug report (found among the page1 google search results) might be enlightening:
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://debian-bugs-dist.debian.narkive.com/KNoJGS29/bug-694446-im-config-should-setting-environment-variable-in-70im-config-launch-instead-of-im-launch"
linktext was:"http://debian-bugs-dist.debian.narkive. ... -im-launch"
====================================
(in some circumstances the"70" prefix needs to be changed to something higher than 80?)
...surely files present in this dir are"referenced".
Are you saying that you installed the"im-config" package, and afterward discovered the 70im-config_launch file is still missing?

These files are not always executed if they exist.
While I was investigating, I also installed numlockx, but I noticed that it was not running either.
It generates the following file by installation:
/ etc / X11 / Xsession.d / 55numlockx

It seems likely that these are not running...

It would be helpful if you post the output of
(sudo) cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d && ls -al
I'm wondering whether im-switch is installed, whether it must be installed

and wondering whether somehow one of the antiX startup file 70 80 90 etc prefixes differ, compared to your other installs
numlockx:
I didn't even realize an Xsession.d file was provided for it. I would have expected one would need to insert a
numlockx &
line into ~/.xesssion to activate it.
IIRC, you previously advocated switching to lightdm to avoid various input method -related problems.
Now you are stating that SLiM, under devuan, yields a problem-free result.
Have you compared, antiX vs devuan:
("devuan" ~= devuan 'ascii' version, based on debian8 packages... or packages from debian9 testing?)
? slim version
? content of /etc/slim.conf
Obviously you haven't yet done so. Otherwise, within the antiX slim.conf you would have found:
OK hopefully that explains & covers how to address your numlockx issue.
I have no idea whether successful activation of numlock in SLiM will resolve the other input method -related problems.

But...This is not a problem with my personal PC,
all users who use the input method with antiX (primarily Asia) will encounter this problem.

Currently Debian does not provide im-switch. Instead im-config is provided:skidoo wrote: I'm wondering whether im-switch is installed, whether it must be installed

as a troubleshooting step, enabling im-config debugging might be enlightening.
/etc/default/im-config
I've never tried using input-method and I don't have a the working (devuan) files to perform a comparison
toward discovering what/where is the difference.
/etc/default/im-config
I do understand what you've explained: the issue affects all asian antiX users# Verbose output for debug (uncomment following)
#M_CONFIG_VERBOSE="true"
