Ubuntu hangs in my laptop

Question

My laptop is INSPIRON 1545 with the following configurations

2GB ram
250GB hard disk
Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz × 2

I installed ubuntu 16.04 last month but it was quite laggy on my laptop. I really want to use use it. i am currently using solus which is good but is there a way to use ubuntu on my laptop without it lagging?

Have you installed a graphic driver? This could cause the slowness/laggyness of your system if you haven't so far. — dufte, Sep 06 '16 at 09:38

What's your graphics adapter? Could you please [edit] your question to include the output of lspci -nnk | grep -A2 VGA? — David Foerster, Sep 07 '16 at 09:09

(1)First of all make clean your tmp folder :

find /tmp -ctime +5 -exec rm -rf {} +

(This will delete your files older than 5 days)

(2) Try to use logrotate to maintain your log files .

(3) Increase your RAM , if it is possible.

(4) Try to make partition such that linux swap partition can get enough large memory for swaping purpose , it will not allow to hang your laptop .Read my answer.

I think his HD2000 graphics processor may be more at issue (ie i915 driver loaded?) than temp files... – WinEunuuchs2Unix Sep 06 '16 at 11:44
There may be more than one reason for that – Avani badheka Sep 06 '16 at 11:50
