T12 installed

Welcome back, my Trisquel friends. The site has been down here for a couple of days. I hope it was nothing serious.
I just finished a clean install of T12. A long struggle. But T12 is running and my data is transferred (despite several USB sticks failing.)
My Thinkpad X200 is no longer crashing, except when I send an email attachment containing an image. Icedove immediately crashes to a logon screen. (I suppose this is an improvement over my old crashes which were all to a restart condition.) I have used Synaptic to reinstall Icedove, but it still crashes.
I have tried emailing various images files, but had only crashes. I have my Linux Mint Chromebook as a backup, and my web -and Thunderbird-
are working fine. Any suggestions welcome.
You might try running icedove in the terminal via strace.
'strace icedove'
'strace -Z icedove' might only spit out system failures.
Thanks Geshmy. That did produce a wildly fast-scrolling terminal terminal output, at least. I'm not sure how or why, but Icedove stopped crashing for a moment. Then it started crashing again.
I also tried running Icedove in the Troubleshooting mode. No use - it crashed. Any different ideas welcome.

Maybe at some point you could give a try to the workaround and create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file with the following content:
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "Intel" Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection
It is known to have fixed similar issues on many X200 laptops and has been documented in the wiki.

Thanks tonino. I tried this and it apparently worked. I just emailed a graphic and it worked fine. I'll give it at least a day before declaring it 100% fixed, but thanks!
Now on to my other issues with the reinstall.
I tried to copy my OEM-Thnkpad directory into the system, but it ended up two levels too low. OEM-Thinkpad contains my old Home directory and all sub-directories. That directory ended up on the level with newly created directories for Desktop, Downloads, Music, etc. OEM-Thinkpad-->Home-->Desktop, Downloads, et al is the proper structure. Thanks!
Would this work?
You can open up a two windows in your filemanager and put them side by side and have one at new home directory and the other at OEM-Thinkpad home directory and begin copying the latter and pasting to the other directory by directory. Of course you have to navigate in both windows in sync.
Then you can delete the OEM-Thinkpad directory.
So newhome/Music in one, OEM-Thinkpad/home/Music in the other with focus on the that one, Ctrl - A to select all, Ctrl -C to copy then focus on first window and Ctrl -V to paste. Or use Edit on the menu bar for each window. I just had to do this using pcmanfm.
Thanks Geshmy. This would work, but I was hoping for something less risky. It took forever to transfer this data with USB 2.0!
Actually, I think usb 2.0 will be slow but now that is there on your hard drive it will be much faster. Anyway, good luck. Maybe some of the strong coders that stop in here have an answer for you.
I just realized there is an easier faster way using the two windows.
Have the first showing your home directory.
Put the second window in OEM.../Music.
Focus on OEM window > Ctrl A to select all
Then Click and hold on any one of the selected items and
drag it to the Music folder in the first window until the Music Directory is highlighted.
Repeat for each directory in The OEM... folder.
That way all the system has to do is change the path to the data you have already copied to the hard drive.
Geshmy-thanks!
Glad I could help!
