The Debian Project hosts all its development IRC channels on irc.oftc.net and also has a thriving community on irc.libera.chat. The Debian Project no longer has control of #debian on the freenode IRC network. If you're still using freenode, please move to irc.oftc.net (or its alias irc.debian.org)

Introduction

IRC (in OFTC's #debian*) is used to get on-line Real Time Help with Debian releases. If you're running other than stock Debian stable, testing, or sid, you should instead go to the forum which supports your non-Debian system. Debian-derived or Debian-downstream are not Debian. You'd get more relevant support for your release from its community, not via Debian.

Read first: https://www.debian.org/support#irc

If you are asked to show some output of an command please use https://paste.debian.net and post the Link instead of pasting it into the Channel.

To connect, you need an IRC client, or use a Matrix interface such as Element.

More information can be found on GettingHelpOnIrc. The #debian channel has its own FAQ.
