I wanted to install some android apps on my PC and I found Anbox as a solution, but when I installed it, didn't work and now when I try to open the browser or press CTRL+ALT+T for opening terminal it takes almost a minute. How to repair my system?

I'm on Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS (Xenial)

I executed tail -f /var/log/syslog and get this:

Jun  7 18:24:55 ricardo org.gnome.Terminal[1501]: (gnome-terminal-server:7257): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Failed to parse translated string '«Sin nombre»' for key 'visible-name' in schema 'org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile': 0:expected value

I got this solved by creating the file ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-daemon.desktop

with these contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=Gnome Keyring Daemon
Name=Gnome Keyring Daemon
Comment[en_US]=Load gnome keyring daemon
Comment=Load gnome keyring daemon

I restarted and it was fixed.

Rebooting will probably take care of your issue although good *NIX admins are loathe to reboot to solve problems. It's always a good learning experience to manually troubleshoot and fix problems versus giving a machine the three finger salute.

From a terminal shell you can see what process(es) are sucking up resources. Type:

top

You can obtain similar information from the System Monitor GUI.

From there you would be able to push the stop process button in the GUI or kill the process with the kill command in a shell.

Killing a process that your username owns is generally pretty safe. Killing a root process can cause other problems so it's unwise to kill any root process unless you know what you're doing.

Typing the following command from a terminal shell will provide a lot more information about system issues, problems and so on that may not be so severe as to be noticeable by users.

tail -f /var/log/syslog

You may need to monitor this file for a few minutes but a quick look at what you posted indicates that you may not be connected to the Internet which will definitely cause pokey performance.

A load average of 2.27 0.82 0.55 is pretty high especially if you have a garden variety CPU. Slower User response will definitely be noticeable. The process at the top of the list is the one causing you grief. That or your PC just doesn't have much horsepower.

I would remove anbox and the installer:-

snap remove anbox
snap remove anbox-installer

And remove the PPA:-

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:morphis/anbox-support
