Linux to see what the kernel version of the command is, in view of this problem, this article describes in detail the corresponding analysis and answers, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

Using the uname command to find the Linux kernel uname is a Linux command used to get system information. You can also use it to determine whether you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit system.

Open a terminal and use the following command:

[linuxmi@linux:~/www.linuxprobe.com] $uname-r output will look similar to the following:

5.3.0-28-generic

This means that you are running Linux kernel 5.3.0-28, or more generally, you are running Linux kernel version 5.3.

But what do other numbers mean here? Let me explain to you:

5-Kernel version

3-Major revision

0-minor revision

28-error repair

The generic- is a version-specific string. For Ubuntu, this means that I am using the desktop version. For the Ubuntu server version, it should be server.

You can also use the uname command with the-an option. If necessary, this will provide more system information.

[linuxmi@linux:~/www.linuxprobe.com] $uname-an output will look similar to the following:

Linux linux 5.3.0-28-generic # 30~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 17 06:14:09 UTC 2020 x86'64 GNU/Linux let me explain the output and give it a meaning:

Linux-Kernel name. If you run the same command on BSD or macOS, the results will be different.

Linux-Hostnam

5.3.0-28-generic-kernel version (we just talked about that)

# 30~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 17 06:14:09 UTC 2020-this means that Ubuntu compiled 5.3.0-28-generic 30 times. The final compilation timestamp is also there.

X86room64-Machine Architecture

X86room64-processor architecture

X86room64-operating system architecture (you can run 32-bit OS on 64-bit processors)

GNU/Linux-operating system (no, it does not display the release name)

2. Use the / proc/version file to find the Linux kernel in Linux, and you can also find Linux kernel information in the file / proc/version. Simply view the contents of this file:

[linuxmi@linux:~/www.linuxprobe.com] $cat / proc/version you'll see output similar to what we saw with uname.

Linux version 5.3.0-28-generic (gcc version 7.4.0 (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04.1)) # 30~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 17 06:14:09 UTC 2020 you can see the kernel version 5.3.0-28-generic here

3. Using the dmesg command to find the Linux kernel version of dmesg is a powerful command for writing kernel messages. It is also very useful when getting system information.

Because dmesg provides a lot of information, you should use a command like less to read it. But since you're just checking the Linux kernel version here, grepping on Linux should provide the required output.

[linuxmi@linux:~/www.linuxprobe.com] $dmesg | the grep Linux output is only a few lines, but you should be able to easily identify the Linux kernel version.
