What version of Kubuntu is installed?

[Rayson]

Can someone tell me how to quickly find out what version of Kubuntu is installed in a given machine and how many bit version of that OS? We have many (about 30) machines set up, mostly 6.06j 32 bit, but some are not. I need to be able to find out quickly.

Thanks,

Ray

lsbrelease -a

Thanks but I just tried running > lsbrelease -a < in the console of both a 6.06 machine and also a Feisty machine and get a "command not found" response. What am I doing wrong?

Hmmm -- does it require a "sudo" prefix?

If not, I'm stumped. Try

kinfocenter

-- I'm pretty sure that will show you the *buntu version on the opening panel.

Try

cat /etc/*release

To see if it's 32- or 64-bit,

uname -m

Well sudo doesn't help. I tried that first. KInfoCenter doesn't tell me much however Kcontrol provides some numbers like Release = 2.6.15-52-386 but I don't know how to convert that into version 6.06 or what ever.

OK, I got one more:

cat /etc/issue

I got that from here, so if it doesn't work, they're lying!

Re: What version of Kubuntu is installed?

Well - cat /etc/*release works nicely and uname -m does too!

Thanks,

Ahhhhh!

Correction, the command is

lsb_release -a

Sorry.
