The world of IRC with X-Chat

IRC is the Internet Relay Chat protocol, a chat room and instant messaging system. It is commonly used in the open source community. There are many IRC networks, such as Freenode, EFnet and Undernet, each of these have many chat channels (equivalent to chat rooms), such as #debian, #ubuntu, #physics. Most open source projects such as Ubuntu have at least one channel where you can ask for help. To connect to an IRC server you need an IRC client. Ubuntu's default client is irssi, which lacks a graphical interface. If you want a simple to use, GUI client, install xchat which can be found in the Universe Repositories.

Starting X-Chat and connecting to an IRC server

  1. To open XChat go to Applications -> Internet -> XChat IRC or you can run the command
xchat
in the terminal.

2. This will open the Server List where you will need to fill in some User Information:

  • Nick Name: Use a unique, non offensive name.
  • Second Choice: If your nick name is taken this will be used.
  • Third Choice: If you first and second are taken, you have a third choice. If all three are taken you may need to try some more names, or the server might choose something for you.
  • User Name: Gives you an ident in your hostname for example: [email protected]
  • Real Name: Your real name, you do not have to fill this in.

3. There are many different IRC networks, but the #ubuntu channel is on Freenode. This is a good place to ask for help with ubuntu. 4. Once your nickname is accepted you can register your nickname by typing the following command in X-Chat

/ns register <password>

If you want to associate your email address with your nickname (in case you lose your password) just type this command in X-Chat

/msg NickServ set email [email protected]

Settings for Networks

You may want to put in special settings for a particular network, such as auto-joining a certain room, or passwords. Select a server and click edit.

  • Server Password: Where your nickserv password goes.
  • Join channels: This automates connecting to your favorite channel(s).
  • Connect command: Some times you might want a send a command to the server when you join.
  • Nickserv password: Don't use this field on Freenode.
  • Character Set: UTF-8 is recommended

Press Connect to connect to the server. It is possible to connect to more then one server in the same time, you should press Connect in New Tab in that case.
