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 servers, such as Freenode, EFnet and Undernet, each of these have many chat rooms, such as #help, #ubuntu, #physics. Most open source projects such as Ubuntu have a room where you can ask for help.

To connect to an IRC server you need an IRC client. Ubuntu's default client is XChat, which is simple to use.

Starting X-Chat and connecting to an IRC server

Open XChat: Applications -> Internet -> XChat IRC

This will open the Server List.

The 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: user@isp.com

  • Real Name: Your real name, you do not have to fill this in.

There are many different IRC networks, but the #ubuntu channel is on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenode Freenode].

The Ubuntu Server network is a short cut to #ubuntu on freenode. If you select it and click connect you will be taken to the Ubuntu chat room. This is a good place to ask for help with ubuntu.
