- | This will tell you which version of Ubuntu is installed. If you prefer using menus, open the Dash search field and type System Settings. Click on the System Settings icon (looks like a wrench and a gear), and, in the window that pops up, look for the Details icon (just a gear). Click that and you’ll get a window like this. Same info, different presentation. Both work just fine. | + | This will tell you which version of Ubuntu is installed. If you prefer using menus, open the Dash search field and type System Settings.

3. Make a note of any error messages. Sometimes a window will pop up with strange hieroglyphics or incomprehensible tech babble. No, you haven’t been contacted by the Na’vi. That error code might not make sense to you, but it might be the key that helps someone else resolve your issue. Write it down or take a picture with your phone so you have it handy. | 3.

If someone needs to know something about your specific machine to help fix your problem, but you don’t know how to get the requested information, the other user can guide you and answer questions along the way.

Well, as you can see, there are a number of places to look for answers to your pressing Ubuntu questions. Never suffer alone with a problem you think is intractable. Likely, someone else has been in the same position as you, and found a way to resolve the issue – leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for others to follow. | Well, as you can see, there are a number of places to look for answers to your pressing Ubuntu questions.
