Getting Help: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:43, 10 December 2009

The KDE Community is friendly and helpful, so here you'll find hints on where to get help, and some guidance on using the different channels.

	Asking Questions properly and hints about things to check before you ask, and information to gather.

	A list of IRC Channels specifically about KDE software and related issues. IRC usually brings replies fairly quickly, but probably not instantly.

	Mailing Lists for help in using KDE applications. You receive all mail that goes to a Mailing List.

	Forums are where you leave a message and check later for replies. Look for the check-box to get notifications of replies.

	Websites lists KDE-related sites, as well as articles about using KDE software.

	Troubleshooting is the place to look for help with configuration or hardware problems
