Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* Users of Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS currently have a menu item that
takes them to the Freenode IRC web chat for the #ubuntustudio channel.
However, Ubuntu Studio's support channel no longer exists on Freenode.
* Following the move from Freenode to libera.chat, there is no longer
an easy way to connect users to a web chat interface with a predefined
channel.
* In Ubuntu Studio 20.10 and later, this menu item was changed to be a
weblink to the Ubuntu Studio Matrix chatroom via matrix.org, and are
directed to either install a Matrix client or use the Element web
interface. This Matrix chatroom, which was formerly bridged to
#ubuntustudio on Freenode, is now bridged to #ubuntustudio on
libera.chat.
[Test Plan]
* Install Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS via either the Live ISO or
ubuntustudio-installer with ubuntustudio-menu.
* Open weblink to Ubuntu Studio Support in launcher menu (or Activities
on GNOME).
* Users are directed to Freenode's webchat and join ##ubuntustudio,
which is not the official room.
[Regression Potential]
* The only regression potential might be confusion among users,
however, this was announced by the Community Council and IRC council.
* Other regression potential might be that the web link stops working,
in which case, another SRU would be necessary.
** Affects: ubuntustudio-menu (Ubuntu)
