Verify Which Version of Kubuntu You Are Running

[kennethmsmith]

How do you verify which version of Kubuntu you are running? Is there a place in kde or a command that can be entered that will display if you have Gutsy or Feisty ....etc. ??

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

This will list your repositories from which you get your software. They will either have the word Feisty or Gutsy in them - one way to tell

Re: Verify Which Version of Kubuntu You Are Running

I think kubicle fumble-fingered it. Try

lsb-release -a

Re: Verify Which Version of Kubuntu You Are Running

Believe it or not, it works fine on my machine. If I substitute the "_" for "-" it errors out. I'd be curious to know if the "-" works for you all.

hmmm -- I dunno. Here's what Google found:

Doesn't really address the "_" question.
