Hi,
Currently I'm sharing my computer with someone, and we use different
window manager/desktop environment. I want to save alsa volume level on
a per-user basis, so I need to execute `alsactl store -f ~/.asoundrc`
when logging out.
Since I use slim as my 'login manager', I thought I can use .xinitrc to
achieve that. I added that command to the very end of my .xinitrc, after
`ck-launch-session awesome` (see my attachment).
If I just logout, then everything seems OK---my current volume level
would be successfully stored. If, however, I shut my computer down via
an awesome key binding (I created a shell script that uses dbus/
consolekit command to poweroff; then use `awful.key({ modkey }, "]",
function () awful.util.spawn_with_shell(/home/user1/bin/poweroff)) to
assign that script to a key), then my current volume level wouldn't be
saved. The only message I saw is `xinit: connection to X closed` during
shutting down.
The guy who shares computer with me uses KDE, and he uses basically the
same .xinitrc (except replace `awesome` with `startkde`). KDE handles
this correctly---either just logging off or shutting down in KDE, his
volume level would be saved.
So, how to achieve this function in awesome?
