PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE (PM) A USER FOR HELP.
ALL HELP IS TO BE DONE IN THE CHANNEL!
  • The usual civility rules of IRC apply
  • Keep the good vibe, be polite and to the topic
  • For anything longer than three lines, please use some pasting service

NOTE: You can also use fpaste from the command line in Fedora using the command "fpaste" ... same for Ubuntu and pastebinit

  • For screenshots, you can use http://www.imgur.com or http://www.uploadscreenshot.com
  • You may want to search the Amahi FAQ for basic questions
  • Remember, for debugging, details matter. Be as precise as possible!
  • For specific problems that require a good description, the Amahi Forums are probably best. Post the specifics there and discuss in IRC.
  • The Amahi Wiki is another great resource. Remember you can contribute too, enhancing or creating new guides.
  • Post all bugs and feature request on the Bug Tracker under the respective project.
  • Command and control the AmahiBot

NOTE: While we try to respond promptly to whatever questions you may come in with, please keep in mind that we can’t always respond instantaneously. So please, stick around for a little while and give us a chance to realize there’s channel activity before you give up.

However, if we really all do seem asleep, feel free to ask your question over on the forums.
