The Support and Help Section of Ubuntu Discourse is now officially alive and open for business.

If you wish to start a support thread, please click on this link. The first two links lead to wiki pages. Or, click on whichever of the other links is most appropriate for your issue, and a new page will open with a “Create a new Topic” message editor already open for you.

Other useful links to Ubuntu Discourse are:

• Ubuntu Discourse home page – https://discourse.ubuntu.com/
• Ubuntu Discourse Support and Help section – https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/support-and-help/306

You are reminded that it will no longer be possible to start new threads on this old site with effect from December 9th 2024 or thereabouts. However, forum members will still be able to post to existing threads for a short period so that those starting threads just before the transition are not left without support. Thereafter, this site will become read only on January 9th 2025.
