A perfect marriage: YOU and Ubuntu 16.04

Use Hexchat instead. XChat has been more or less dead for years. The authors of XChat took the Windows version proprietary and then later abandoned it. The latest news on the XChat web site seems to be from about 6 years ago.

The Linux version of XChat however was GPL and so was forked to create HexChat, which is still under active development and maintenance by other people. The newest release of Hexchat was about a month ago.

In other words, if you want the same thing, remove XChat and use Hexchat. Hexchat can't use the XChat name due to trademark issues.
