laptop - Is my Ubuntu install 32 or 64-bit?


I'm trying to find out if my Ubuntu install is 32 or 64-bit. The best I can find is "i686" does this mean its 32 bit?


What's the correct way of finding out if the Ubuntu installed on my laptop is 32 or 64-bit?



Answer



Go into the terminal and type in.


uname -a

If your results are similar to the one below, then yours is 64-bit; otherwise, it is 32-bit.


Linux ubuntu-tm 2.6.35-28-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 14:39:03 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If you have the x86_64 then your machine is 64-bit.


If your results are similar to this one; then you have 32-bit.


Linux Server 2.6.15-23-386 #1 SMP Tue Mar 1 13:49:40 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

Notice the i686 in the code, that means your machine is 32-bit.


UPDATE:


Type in the following in the terminal;


uname -m

It will give you either x86_64, which is 64-bit, or something else, which is 32-bit.
