Found A Bug? Got Stuck?

In case you have found an bug or another kind of error in Xubuntu, please do the following first:

  • Search for help from one of the community channels listed below
    If you didn't find any answers after thorougly looking, it's possible you've found a bug.
  • Recommended: Try to determine the faulty package
    You can ask for further advice on your chosen channel – sometimes this can even help find answers.

Reporting Bugs

Once you have gathered the information required to file a bug, please report it to us so we can triage and fix it.

  • If you know the name of the faulty package, use the ubuntu-bug command in your terminal: ubuntu-bug <packagename>
  • If the bug is more generalized or you'd like to suggest improvements to Xubuntu, submit a new issue to our triage page on GitHub.

For other bug-reporting guidelines, see the ReportingBugs article on the Ubuntu Community Help Wiki.


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

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.
