Introduction
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of realtime Internet chat. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message. On IRC you can talk to many other members using Ubuntu, on topics ranging from idle chit-chat to support with your Ubuntu. Though a channel might have many people in it at any one time, they might not always be at their keyboard; so if no-one responds, just wait around and someone will hopefully answer soon enough.
This page serves as an information base for users of the Ubuntu IRC channels. The Ubuntu channels can be found on the Freenode network, irc.freenode.net. xchat in Ubuntu has this network preconfigured and the main channel, #ubuntu, will automatically be joined. Kubuntu also comes with Konversation, which is also pre-configured for the Kubuntu help channels. When participating in Ubuntu IRC channels, please abide by the Code of Conduct.
IRC Clients
The following is just a quick list of the available IRC clients for use.
Ubuntu
- Gaim/Pidgin - Popular instant messaging software but also supports IRC. May be easier for beginners. For more information refer to the UbuntuHelp:GaimHowto page.
- Xchat - GUI based IRC client. For more information refer to the UbuntuHelp:XChatHowto wiki page.
- LostIRC - A simple GTK IRC client.
- Loqui - Another GTK client, with a range of features intermediate between Xchat's and LostIRC's.
Kubuntu
- Konversation - KDE GUI based IRC client.
- KvIRC - a more powerful, though less KDE-integrated, GUI client.
- Kopete - Multi-protocol instant messaging and IRC software for KDE.
Console based
- IRSSI - Popular command line/text based IRC client. For more information refer to the UbuntuHelp:Irssi page.

LogBots
There are 2 logging bots active: ubuntulog and Lo``Co``Bot. Ubuntulog is a bot that sits in the main channels and maintains a log of that channel. the Lo``Co``Bot provides the same service, but for Lo``Co team channels. If you are interested in having a Lo``Co``Bot in your channel, please contact smurf in #ubuntu-locoteams. The channel logs from these two bots can be found online at:
Infobots
Infobots are the bots that sit in a channel and provide various types of information upon command. The two infobots that the Ubuntu IRC community utilizes is ubotu and Ubugtu.
ubotu
ubotu is the main infobot. This bot contains the facts database and is active in #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #kubuntu-devel, and many others. Details on how to operate him can be found on the UbotuUsage page. The factoid database can be found on here. In #ubuntu-{desktop,devel,bugs,motu,offtopic}, #kubuntu-devel, #bzr and #launchpad ubotu also listens for bugzilla/malone/debbugs urls and bugnumbers and will give inforomation about the requested bugs. In #ubuntu-offtopic a few fun-features are enabled as well.
ubuntu-es
ubuntu-es is a infobot and logbot; active in #ubuntu-es, #edubuntu-es, #ubuntu-es-offtopic, and others.
Registration
Ubuntu members with registered nicknames can get an Ubuntu hostname cloak. If you want such a cloak, contact Dennis Kaarsemaker (Seveas on freenode, [email protected]) to get one.
Operators
The current list of IRC operators for the main rooms can be found at IRCOperators on the Ubuntu wiki. Operators can help you if there is a problem or disturbance in the channel.
DCC exploit
On IRC, there is a small group of abusive users that finds it funny to send invalid DCC commands causing certain vulnerable users to disconnect. This causes a somewhat large spamming of disconnect and reconnect messages and is generally disruptive to the chat room. By default, Feisty uses port 8001 and should not need this fix, but Dapper and Edgy users may still be vulnerable. More on this is available here.
