Empathy IRC

[rogerano]

Wow. Same here. I added a completely bogus AIM account and the option to add IRC appeared in the dropdown list after that. Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

How can the absence of an IRC option go unnoticed during testing?

me too =)

is tricky, you need to add '#' before room name. for example: "#mongodb",
"mongodb" does not work

KVIrc and Konversation are good IRC clients for Linux.

To join a channel go to "Room" then "join", change the account to the one you created, and then type in the channel name... Then click "join"

If that doesn't work, try connecting to "chat.freenode.net" instead.
