Version 2.5

How do I confirm what version of EMC I have. I downloaded v2.5 from the buildbot and the splash screen still says 2.4.6 I thought I read on here a way to confirm what version is opening but I can't seem to find it. I finally have my new hardware and am ready to start a config.

I followed this outline.....Apparently I did something wrong

1. Open gedit by clicking "Applications" then "Accessories" then "gedit Text Editor".

2. In gedit click "File" then "Save".

3. Name the file "emc2-buildbot.list" (without the quotation marks) and then click on "Desktop" under "Places" to save it to the desktop. Next, click "Save".

4. Go to this link, buildbot.linuxcnc.org/, and copy the 2 lines that correspond to your system and what you want to install. If you have Lucid 32-bit realtime and want to install version 2.5 pre-release, these are the lines you need:

deb buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ lucid v2.5_branch-rt
deb-src buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ lucid v2.5_branch-rt

5. Paste the 2 lines from #4 into the file from #3 and click "File" then "Save" and close the file.

6. Open a terminal by clicking "Applications" then "Accessories" then "Terminal".

7. Enter this line in the terminal, "sudo mv ~/Desktop/emc2-buildbot.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d" also, without the quotation marks and hit "Enter". The "~" is on the key above the "Tab" key.

8. You will be asked to enter your password, do it and hit "Enter", even if the cursor didn't move.

9. Enter this line in the terminal, "sudo apt-get update" and hit "Enter".

10. Lastly, enter this line in the terminal, "sudo apt-get install emc2" and hit "Enter". Answer yes to all questions.

No it does not.

I get a message that says the newest version of Emc2 is already installed.

Click "Places", "Computer", "File System", "etc", "apt", and "sources.list.d". You should have a file named "emc2-buildbot.list" in "sources.list.d". If you do, open it and see if the 2 lines you got from buildbot are in it. If you don't have the file or the 2 lines, you did something wrong, try again.

OK I figured it out. Learning Linux was my issue, it was very easy to add the destination to the update manager and presto version 2.5. I hope all of my problems will be so easy moving forward. Thank you for the direction.
