[17:57] <zodiac19> Hello, I'm also in the Kubuntu and Ubuntu channels right now, I have a computer running Lubuntu. it is a thinkpad x61 with a pen touchscreen interface
[17:58] <zodiac19> Almost entirely new to the linux opperating system, I am wondering if there is a way to prevent my lubuntu computer from crashing when I use the touchscreen
[18:03] <tsimonq2> zodiac19: maybe #ubuntu is the best place for this :)
[18:03] <zodiac19> Actually the computer in question is running Lubuntu
[18:09] <zodiac19> How would ubuntu be the best place to ask questions about lubuntu?
[18:09] <teward> zodiac19: #ubuntu also supports Lubuntu and the other official variants
[18:09] <teward> it never hurts to try multiple locations :P
[18:10] <zodiac19> that is what I'm trying...
[18:11] <teward> zodiac19: your first question is about using the touchscreen and it crashes.  That's likely outside the scope of the IRC channels, because 'crashes' usually mean bugs, so you should file a bug.
[18:13] <zodiac19> okay, I will do that... but how would I be able to run the computer in the mean time?
[20:27] <sakrecoer> haj! got reminded i've been meaning to show gratitude for a while. i realy like your project <3 don't get it wrong, but i'm a bit of a computer dumpster diver. and for example, thanks to your efforts, i got these two mint condition tablet-PC's from 2004 to work perfect.
[20:27] <wxl> glad to hear it sakrecoer :)
[20:28] <sakrecoer> kept one, and gave the other to a friends son. perfect hack and draw device for a kid, small and big :)
[20:29] <wxl> sweet!
[20:33] <sakrecoer> yeah :) i'm fortunate to live in a both wealthy and "ecologic minded" country; sweden. people consume as hell, but the trash room has a separate bin for electronic waste.
[20:34] <sakrecoer> so everytime some new thing shows up on the market, it's christmas in the trash..
[20:34] <wxl> yeah we've helped a normal of school systems not only save money but keep stuff out of the trash can
[20:35] <sakrecoer> <3 that is beautiful!
