Internet Relay Chat

Due to the real-time nature of IRC, it is often the fastest way to get help.

Please be patient: while there may appear to be lots of people in the channel, they may not be available at the time. While you are waiting, it is a good idea to look for an answer via other support methods.

Join #xubuntu

Additional help can be found in the localized Ubuntu IRC channels, for those who prefer to chat in their native language, as well as the official #xfce community support.

If you prefer a desktop application to use IRC, then you can use the pre-installed Pidgin instant messenger or your favorite IRC client to join the channels on the Libera Chat IRC network (irc.libera.chat).

Mailing Lists

Mailing lists are discussion groups that use mass distribution of email to reach all subscribers. Mailing lists are ideal when you have limited connectivity and are not able to use real-time discussion methods.

The Xubuntu-users mailing list can be used for community support and discussions.

For more Ubuntu-related mailing lists, including localized ones, see the complete list on the Ubuntu Mailing Lists page.

Forums

On the official Ubuntu forums you can find help with Xubuntu related topics in the Desktop Environments category.

The official Ubuntu Discourse has a Xubuntu subcategory.

You can also find help at the official Xfce forum.


Q&A Sites

You can also add your support question and search through answered questions in Launchpad Answers.

You may also ask questions and search for answers on Ask Ubuntu, as well as follow Xubuntu tagged questions by RSS feed.

Other Platforms

Questions and answers, as well as general discussions, can be found on the Xubuntu Reddit.

Telegram users can find support help in the Ubuntu Support and Xubuntu Support groups.
