After re-installing back to 16.04, I managed to determine that the processes taking up the most memory an CPU were compiz and XOrg, which were at times making the laptop unresponsive. I read through a number of Forums, suggesting that Ubuntu 16.04 was using excessive amount of memory compared to previous releases (some suggesting that they had more memory than was in my old laptop).
Consequently in order to get it running on 16.04 I have decided to migrate the server to Lubuntu 16.04, which seems a lot more responsive with the amount of memory and is sufficient for what I require. (I was hoping to use Ubuntu across all my old laptops). There is definitely a large increase in the use of resources on other laptops form 15.10 to 16.04, please don't replace Microsoft in using more and more resources with every release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605310 Title: lighted hangs on new 32bit 16.04 installation after list-upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1605310/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
