I have a 2008 notebook, Acer Aspire 4930, with 250 GB HDD and 2 GB RAM.

I'm planning to use all the HDD for installing Ubuntu as a single OS in my notebook, but I don't understand how much should I allocate disk space on partition and where to allocate? For file system, swap, temp, etc

I want to make as maximum my notebook can do

The best is just to install clean Ubuntu by choosing "Erase everything and install Ubuntu" in the installation process. It will create all the required partitions and do everything for you.

But anyway, if you want to create the partitions manually just check this out (Fully explained with photos): How to use manual partitioning during installation? Or check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskSpace

According to your hdd size:

/home 180gb
/usr 10gb
/var 2gb
/lib 5gb
/swap ~amount of RAM (2gb in your case),
/tmp equal to swap or less
etc......
