Mute shortcut problem...

[Andre Rodovalho]

The shorcut file is ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.*xml*
or */home/USER_DIR/openbox/*lubuntu-rc.*xml*

It is not possible to use the ' character. You will get an error message if
you do. I tried:

uxterm -e 'amixer -c 1 -q sset Master toggle && amixer -c 1 -q sset Speaker
unmute && amixer -c 1 -q sset Headphone unmute'

But this returns the error message, just file the && did. The problem is
you can't put those characters there, I guess it's a fault on the openbox
xml processor.

You can try your changes by the command:

$ *openbox --restart*

When you do, you can get the shortcuts to work without restarting the
system!
