This is certainly a paper cut. The version of Ubuntu and the kernel should be available in the GUI. Users should not have to resort to Google and the command line to find out what version they're running.
"System > About Ubuntu" command should resemble the "System > About GNOME" window and display the output of: lsb_release -a uname -r in a text box which can easily be copied to the clipboard. Fear of the command line is what kept normal users away from linux for so long. Sending them to the command line is intimidating and potentially dangerous. -- help.ubuntu.com does not tell you how to determine which version you have https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
