Use light weight Windows Manager like gnome-session-flashback. open terminal ubuntu
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashbackthen log out, you'll see compiz symbol on up right login corner. click it then choose metacity.
If graphics are very slow use the following to force low graphics mode
sudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu.sessionRemove "compiz" from the RequiredComponents list
sudo gedit /usr/share/upstart/sessions/unity7.confAdd these lines after "export COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE":
env UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE="1"
export UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE
