If you need a problem with Ubuntu fixed right away, you should go to the official IRC chat room on the Freenode servers. There is tons of people that are more than willing to help if you have a legitimate question to ask. Here is a list of their servers taken from Freenode.net:
| Asia/Pacific Rim
Taoyuan, TW |
chat.ap.freenode.net
tolkien.freenode.net |
|
| Australia
Brisbane, AU |
chat.au.freenode.net
asimov.freenode.net |
|
| Europe
Frankfurt, DE Umeå, SE |
chat.eu.freenode.net
kornbluth.freenode.net |
ipv6.chat.eu.freenode.net
goethe.freenode.net crichton.freenode.net
|
| United States
Corvallis, OR Madison, WI |
chat.us.freenode.net
niven.freenode.net |
After you are successfully connected to the IRC server of your choosing, type /nick YourName and then /join #ubuntu – You may have to register your nickname on the Freenode servers (#ubuntu requires this), so type /msg NickServ Register YourPassword – If the name isn’t already taken you will have successfully registered your name and will be able to start chatting and asking for help with your problem. Please read the rules and follow proper chat etiquette.
Firefox users should look into ChatZilla. Or to connect to the Freenode IRC servers through your browser, use their web based Java Client.
