> {{{#!wiki comment # Libera doesn't have webchat as of this writing. = Webchat - The Easy Way = Webchat is accesible directly from your browser. To try out IRC for the first time, this may be the easiest way to do it. * Head to http://webchat.freenode.net/ * fill in your nick (make one up) * type '''#ubuntustudio'''" in the channel field * type the correct cathpa, and hit '''Connect'''. <
> - LIKEWISE, these instructions for Xchat don't really fit since they use the default Freenode settings - = XCHAT = Xchat is a program already installed on your computer, if you have installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04LTS or earlier. If you find you want to spend more time on IRC, you'll probably want to be able to save your channels and settings. Especially if you're frequently on several channels. To connect to the Ubuntu Studio channel, you will need to first connect to the server freenode.net. Then, look up the #ubuntustudio channel, and join it. A more detailed instruction on how to connect to libera.chat and ubuntustudio: * Start xchat * When you start XChat for the first time, it comes up with a Network List, which allows you to choose your nick name and the IRC Network you would like to connect to (If you have used XChat before, you can configure the Network options by selecting '''XChat -> Network List''' from the menu or by pressing CTRL+S) * Select and enter your nickname * In the Networks selection list, click on Freenode and press the '''Edit...''' button to verify the settings: * By checking '''Auto connect''' to this network on startup Xchat will automatically establish the connection when you start it up the next time. You can actually select this option for multiple IRC networks at the same time! * In the Edit Freenode window, click the '''...''' next to '''Favorite channels''' to add channels you would like to auto-connect to. Add '''#ubuntustudio'''. * Close the Edit Freenode window when you are done and click the '''Connect''' button in the Network list window to establish the connection. Xchat will now auto connect to the ubuntustudio user channel each time you restart it. * To look for more freenode channels (#ardour, #jack etc..), go to '''Server -> List of Channels''' and hit '''Download List''' to get the entire list. <
