My computer is working very slow after installing Ubuntu 12.10 Final.

Before I used to have Ubuntu 11.10 and it is working very fine for me, but after installing Ubuntu 12.10 it makes me very angry, working very very slow.

My Computer Configuration:

  1. Pentium 4 3.4 GHz Processor
  2. 1GB DDR2 RAM
  3. 250GB HDD

Have you tried Ubuntu 12.04 LTS release to see if that works ok on your system ? 12.10 is an incremental build but if you want 5 years support and stability then stick with 12.04...

Note: To speed up your desktop you could install the propriatary driver if you are using Nvidia or Ati graphics which would help...

Quoting myself from this question Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit Slow

Unity is SLOW and INEFFICIENT Get lxde it's FAST and EFFICIENT

This is how you install it

Terminal way

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Type sudo apt-get install lubuntu for the full package and for the lighter one withut the applications type sudo apt-get install lxde
  3. Type your password (You wont see anything typed for security reasons)
  4. Wait for it to download and install
  5. Logout/Restart laptop then on the login screen click the ubuntu icon on the password box
  6. click lxde or lubuntu

GUI way

  1. Go to the ubuntu software center

  2. Search for lxde or lubuntu

  3. Install it

  4. Logout/Restart laptop then on the login screen click the ubuntu icon on the password box

  5. click lxde or lubuntu

enjoy your new desktop.
