Ubuntu 12.04, por que tão lento?

Question

Instalei apenas o Ubuntu 12.04 em um antigo laptop Dell Inspiron 9400 e ele funcionou muito bem ... por cerca de um mês. Agora parece forçar o seu caminho através das tarefas principais. Pode ser um laptop antigo, mas eu poderia usar cerca de 5 guias do navegador sem problemas, não importa qual navegador eu usei. Parece congelar com bastante frequência. Quando fecho tudo, não parece haver muita atividade (apenas o monitor do sistema aberto, mas tudo é normal). Eu tentei o comando free -m e é isso que gera

                 total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
   Mem:          1001        745        255          0         24        366
   -/+ buffers/cache:        355        646
   Swap:         1020          1       1019

Alguma idéia de por que isso diminui tanto o que deve ser feito, além de tentar uma nova instalação?

Answer 1

Parece que você não tem swap ou memória suficiente para que os aplicativos sejam executados corretamente, isso pode ser melhorado aumentando o tamanho do seu espaço de troca.

Existem opiniões diferentes sobre qual deve ser o tamanho do swap, mas aqui está um do Documentação do Fedora 64bit (não é possível encontrar o Ubuntu ... houve um, eu descobri há séculos atrás ...) :

Então você precisa ter o swap pelo menos duas vezes o tamanho da RAM, três vezes o tamanho se você quiser permitir hibernação . Então você precisa ter um espaço de troca com pelo menos o tamanho de 3000 Megabytes

Para realmente aumentar o tamanho do espaço de troca, você não precisa reinstalar, você deve ser capaz de encontrar algumas respostas aqui .

Além disso, se você eventualmente sentir a necessidade de reinstalar devido a esses problemas, convém usar uma versão mais leve do Ubuntu, como o Xubuntu ou Lubuntu .
