Thread: Ubuntu Installation Doubts

I was searching for some themes. But never found any compatible ones. I am looking for a black glossy one with white text.

You can enable these effects in Compiz. I don't use the other options but you can play with it to get something good.

nope man, and wat i meant in previous post is that the PPPoE mode does not work properly in any OS, even windows, and its not a modem config problem as well.

oh...configure ur modem in bridge mode...then type sudo pppoeconf..in ur terminal and follow the instructions

Hye Guyz,
I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 and configured sify dialer on it.
The dialer is able to connect to Sify and i'm able to surf the net.
But the dialer keeps disconnecting after 10-15 min.
Has anyone else faced this problem ?
