I have a Toshiba laptop with 2.8 gb of ram, 1.87x2 GHz processor, and Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on it as a partition installed with wubi. It takes 5-10 mins to start up, and opening any program (such as Chromium, Chrome, Skype, Firefox, Thundermail, etc) takes over half a minute. I stopped using Unity because my graphic card couldn't handle it and swapped over to Cinnamon.
Standby is going really slow on my Toshiba Portege R600 laptop. At least going into standby mode. Going out of it takes less than a second. Which is strange.
new ubuntu user. after boot (boot is quite fast), opening applications such as firefox, libra, system settings, takes close to 10 seconds to open. after the application is loaded in RAM, the application opens fine.
the system feels snappy, quick. when i have two FIREFOX open, unity is snappy in showing me the two windows side by side.
I have been running Ubuntu 12.10 in it's own partition for dual-boot with Windows 7 for a week now.
Would running Ubuntu like this make it run slower? Would it be faster if I installed Ubuntu over Windows 7 and have it as my only OS?
What's running slow? Opening a video file in vlc player (800MB/4GB file) takes at least 3 seconds.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1420.
When resuming from sleep/suspend, it takes ~30 seconds for my preferred wireless connection to reconnect. It used to reconnect almost immediately after wakeup.
Please note: during the 30 seconds it takes to reconnect, the wireless icon in the top menubar is an empty quarter-circle.
Hi,
I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my virtual machine. This comptuer is low spec PC. What I have noticed was drastically slower responses for anything in Ubuntu comparing to Ubuntu 12.04 Unity 2D. If I open terminal and type some letters, they are displayed few seconds after I type them.
Unity dash is really slow and unresponsive, it takes between 5 and 20 seconds just to load.
I'm running a laptop with 2gb ram, AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-64 × 2, Gallium 0.4 on ATI RS690 graphics.
My laptop works perfectly fast with Windows 7 but is very slow in Ubuntu 12.04.When I try to open the dash it takes 1-2 sec.even the normal right click on the desktop for the dropdown options is taking time.I installed preload but it made a very slight change.
I have installed ubuntu 12.04 32bit on Vmware esxi 5 update 1.
The virtual machine is: 2 core, 4 GB RAM, 64 MB VGA.
Still the vm is very very slow (with and without the vmware tools) .
