To check the version of Ubuntu that is currently installed on your system using the command line, you can use the lsb_release command. This command allows you to display detailed information about the Linux distribution you are using, including the version number.
To check the version of Ubuntu using the lsb_release command, you can run the following command:
lsb_release -a
This will display a list of information about your Linux distribution, including the version number. The version number will be shown under the „Description” field, and it will be in the format „Ubuntu X.XX”. For example, if the version number is „Ubuntu 20.04”, this indicates that you are using Ubuntu version 20.04.
If you only want to display the version number, you can use the -r option to show only the „Release” field. For example, you can run the following command to display only the version number:
lsb_release -r
This will output the version number in a format that is easier to parse, such as „20.04”.
If you encounter any errors or issues when using the lsb_release command, you may want to consult the command documentation or seek help from other Linux users who are familiar with using lsb_release. It may also be helpful to provide more information about your specific setup and the steps you have taken to try to check the version of Ubuntu on your system.
