The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.

The Trisquel project has an official IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channel that anyone can join. To connect to the channel, follow these steps.

Using Pidgin

Since Trisquel 4.5, codename Slaine, Pidgin is our pre-installed IRC client (though Pidgin is also a universal chat client that handles many more protocols than just IRC). To set up IRC chat in Pidgin:

Using XChat

In Trisquel 4.0 and earlier versions, XChat is the default IRC client. If you only use IRC and want a more full-featured IRC experience, you may prefer XChat. To set up IRC chat in XChat:

  1. Install XChat if you have Trisquel Slaine or later.
  2. Start up the XChat program (Main MenuInternetXChat IRC)
  3. Enter a username, nicknames, and if you want to, your real name.
  4. Trisquel's channel is hosted on FreeNode. Choose FreeNode from the list and click Connect. xchat-network-list.png
  5. Type /join #trisquel and press Enter. You should be connected in a few moments.
  6. Use the /help command to get a full list of commands, and ask around the channel for any further assistance.
