Where do I see what version of Kubuntu I'm running?

[KudosMatrix7]

I've been looking for an option that says something like "About Kubuntu" but I don't remember where I found it before, I want to upgrade hoping it will fix my resolution as an emulator blew everything up on me

Press 'Alt+F2' and type 'About System'

You can also look in the file /etc/os-release:

$ more /etc/os-release 
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"

A handy command, you'll get your "System" and all the rest!
