How to find Kubuntu Version #

[Bas Roufs]

Hello Ramesh,
one more thing. A good backup package  is "Lucky Backup". If you do not
have that one, try to access the repository to get it:

sudo apt-get install lucky backup.

If this does not work, first follow Nils' advise for an upgrade to 12.04.
Afterwords, install Lucky Backup, save your data and look for a convenient
moment to carry out a fresh install of Kubuntu 13.04.
In general,  I carry out a fresh install twice a year.
Good luck.
Bas.
