How to check KDE version using command?
I know how to check KDE version using the GUI method:
eg, open Konqueror and look at what's written in About.
But is there a way to check the version in command? You know, something like "uname -a"?
This is very useful, as all administrators should know, since it would be possible to write shell script to install things according to KDE version.
TIA

kded --version

Replace kded with any KDE app name, like kdesktop, kicker, konqueror, etc. That command will show you the KDE version, the Qt version used, and the app's version.
OS: Kubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) | KDE 3.5.3

Could you give exact command?
Like is it "kicker --version" or "kicker -version"?

Make sure "kicker" exists for you. Just type "kicker" and see what you get.
funny, i have KDE4 with plasmoids and all the stuff, yet many old kde 3 apps claim that i have kde3.5.10, while amarok or kate, to say, return: kde 4.2.2
I actually expect that what you get is normal because as far as I understand it, <k_app> --version as suggested by jucato displays the version of a particular application/software.
KDE is made up of a set of applications. "KDE version" only makes sense if all K applications are at the same version level, eg from a default installation of a certain distribution, as in my case when I posted my message years ago.
But in your case, your "KDE" is a mixture of different versions, so it's quite natural to get what you got.
PS: I missed clicked the "Report" button but I didn't realize it! Someone knows how to recall the mis-report?
