To check the version of Ubuntu you are running, you can use the following methods:
Method 1: Use the lsb_release Command
Open a terminal and run the following command:
lsb_release -a
This will display detailed information about your Ubuntu version, including the release number, codename, and description.
Method 2: Check the /etc/os-release File
You can also check the content of the /etc/os-release file. Use the following command:
cat /etc/os-release
Look for the VERSION_ID field to find the version number.
Method 3: Check the /etc/lsb-release File
Another file you can check is /etc/lsb-release:
cat /etc/lsb-release
This file may contain information about the Ubuntu version.
Method 4: Use the hostnamectl Command
The hostnamectl command provides information about the system, including the operating system version. Run the following command:
hostnamectl
Look for the Operating System field to find the version information.
Any of these methods should provide you with information about the Ubuntu version currently installed on your system.
