[gentoo-user] KDE4 transparent panel

2009-05-09 Thread Alan McKinnon
Hi all, I was fiddling with Desktop Settings, and seem to have reverted my panel back to some default. Now I've lost my semi-transparent panel and it's replaced with some baby-blue thing. I've got lots of extra themes installed and can't find the one I used to have (doh...).Plus the logout

[gentoo-user] Ripping audio from a video DVD

Hello list, I've acquired a DVD of a concert performance which I'd like to put on the choir's Web site. It's too big, though, at nearly 1 GB, so I wondered about extracting just the audio from it and putting that up instead. Is there a Gentoo-ish way of doing this, or should I start messing
