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 communlication 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 [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/conduct/ Code of Conduct] and [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines channel guidelines].
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 ["Pidgin"] page.
Xchat - GUI based IRC client. For more information refer to the ["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 ["Irssi"] page.
WeeChat - Another popular command line/text based IRC client.

LogBots
There are 2 logging bots active: ubuntulog and LoCoBot. Ubuntulog is a bot that sits in the main channels and maintains a log of that channel. the LoCoBot provides the same service, but for LoCo team channels. If you are interested in having a LoCoBot in your channel, please contact admin@ubuntu-eu.org. The channel logs from these two bots can be found online at:
Please be aware that when you are on IRC you may be logged by bots other than these, sometimes without permission of channel operators. Please keep in mind that you are in a public place and even if it is not said explicitly others may be logging their conversations which include yours. The content of all Ubuntu channels, whether official logs or otherwise, are considered to be in the public domain.
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 are ubotu and botijo.
ubotu
The main infobot.
This bot contains the facts database and is active in #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #kubuntu-devel, and many others. See [wiki:Ubuntu/UbotuUsage Ubotu Usage] for details on how to operate the bot. The factoid database can be found on [https://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi here]. In #ubuntu-desktop, -devel, -bugs, -motu, -offtopic, #kubuntu-devel, #bzr and #launchpad, ubotu also listens for Launchpad/Malone/debbugs URLs and bug numbers and will give inforomation about the requested bugs. In #ubuntu-offtopic a few fun-features are enabled as well.
botijo
An infobot and logbot active in several Spanish channels.
See [http://doc.ubuntu-es.org/Proyecto:Botijo Commands of botijo] for details on how to operate the bot can be found
Registration
[http://launchpad.net/people/ubuntumembers Ubuntu members] can get an Ubuntu [http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks hostname cloak]. See https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-cloaks for information about obtaining one.
Operators
IRC operators can help you if there is a problem or disturbance in the channel. In most channels, saying « !ops » will alert operators, but this should only be done in response to serious channel emergencies. Channel operators and the [wiki:Ubuntu/IrcTeam IRC Team] can be contacted in #ubuntu-irc for general enquiries.
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. [:FixDCCExploit: More on this is available here.]
