Ubuntu uses ext3 for its file system by default - so unless you chose
something else, you are in fact using a journalling file system. (ext3)

ext3 is a "journal extension" of ext2 , which was commonly used until ext3
became common. Another journal file system is "reiserfs". There are
others used with Linux, like xfs and jfs, but those are less common.
