So I have installed ubuntu 20LTS for a computer that was assigned to me but it is a painful to use it because it boots in 10 minutes. But that is not it, it is really slow, opening a tab from firefox makes the system wait for 10 minutes and it sometimes won't even bother with opening it and just gives error. Even running simple commands from terminal is sometimes takes really long time.
Here are the list of stuff that I tried but result in fail
1- Increased the swap space.
I increased the swap space from 2 to 4 gb, which did not make any difference. Plus, I don't think I have memory issues, the following is the result of
free -m
command
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 5934 564 4619 12 751 5119
Swap: 4095 0 4095
2- changed cpu to performence to ondemand
I thought it might be because ubuntu cpu's are in powersave mode but nothing changed when I changed cpu to performence.
3- cpu usage
I don't think it is about cpu usage either, the result of the top command:
top - 08:33:11 up 36 min, 1 user, load average: 3,76, 3,68, 4,11
Tasks: 230 total, 1 running, 228 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
%Cpu(s): 1,1 us, 0,7 sy, 0,0 ni, 46,5 id, 51,7 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,1 si, 0,0 st
MiB Mem : 5934,6 total, 3368,5 free, 1209,8 used, 1356,3 buff/cache
MiB Swap: 4096,0 total, 4096,0 free, 0,0 used. 4451,7 avail Mem
4- Disabled animation from gnome-tweak tools,
Nothing changed
5- Installed lubuntu for greater performence
Nothing changed
I am out of options now, you might think my pc specs are trash but I am running dualboot win10 on it ant it is working perfectly.
