.xinitrc and .xsession not running

I am trying to get some commands to run in these поля nothing is working.

First file ~/.xinitrc:

#!/bin/bash
echo DERP >>  /home/karl/xinitrc-derp1.log

Second file ~/.xsession:

#!/bin/bash
echo DERP >>  /home/karl/xsession-derp1.log

The logs just do not appear. гm running pantheon with Ubuntu 14.04.
