Hot fix for fresh installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (final):
1) download binary packages for unity 5.8.0 and libnux 5.8.0 from Launchpad.

amd64:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/98434829/unity_5.8.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/98435770/unity-common_5.8.0-0ubuntu2_all.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/98434830/unity-services_5.8.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/98434831/libunity-core-5.0-5_5.8.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/98014032/libnux-2.0-0_2.8.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/98014265/libnux-2.0-common_2.8.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb
2) install packages using dpkg:
dpkg -i unity*.deb libunity*.deb libnux*.deb
This will replace the existing packages with the old version. After rebooting,
Unity is smooth and fast and causes reasonably low loads.Don't forget to set the packages on hold using "dpkg --set-selections" so they won't be upgraded next time you start the update manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993942 Title: Unity extremely slow after installing/upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/993942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
