hey guys

I installed ubuntu through wubi

I allocated 20GB Space for the Ubuntu.

But when i started the system.

Ubuntu became very slow. If i opened application little rapidly the system is getting struck

The Configuration of the System is

250GB HDD 1GB RAM INTEL DUAL CORE PROCESSOR.

I Installed both Windows and Ubuntu in Same Drive.

What could be the problem?

:confused::confused::confused:

Windows XP or 7? Have u created any swap area? there wont be much space if you are using windows 7. The capacity for windows 7 is minimum 60GB and recommended size is 120. You are running both Windows and Ubuntu in one partition. So i think there might be some problem with virtual memory paging.

No No i am using Windows XP not Windows 7

I don't know weather the Admin Created The SWAP AREA or not since the system belongs to the company. I hope he created it

Try running df -h from a terminal and verify that root having enough disk space available.

You can try something like this,
1. How much memory its consuming while running? use top command or some gui tools.
2. Try disabling network and check the status again.
3. Read this and create a swap area of 1.5GB, if it is not created already.

4. Check if there any other machine running ubuntu 12.04 with same hardware configuration.

5. Finally if possible extend C drive capacity.

could be as simple as your graphics driver and unity with 1gb ram is not suitable.

if i were you, i would install another desktop environment within ubuntu. this can be done via the software center. try this one
xfce4

Yes, it's not a valid command, AFAIK.

BTW, why don't you dual boot instead of Wubi?

I said to try that desktop, not that it was the command to install it
sudo apt-get install xfce4
