If graphics are very slow use the following to force low graphics mode

sudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu.session

Remove "compiz" from the RequiredComponents list

sudo gedit /usr/share/upstart/sessions/unity7.conf

Add these lines after "export COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE":

env UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE="1"

export UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE

Use light weight Windows Manager like gnome-session-flashback. open terminal ubuntu

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback

then log out, you'll see compiz symbol on up right login corner. click it then choose metacity.
