  Hi,
  
  I am using ubuntu in my system for last one month. when i run the uname command with options i and p, it is showing unknown output. It means Ubuntu was not installed properly in my system or problem with the system hardware? I am pasting the out below. Can anyone please help me.

  Thanks the first command gives the output, But it is showing two same entries twice. Please find the out put below.
  
  # grep name /proc/cpuinfo
  model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
  model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
  # arch
  bash: arch: command not found
  #
  
  Can you please help me to understand why it is showing two same entries.

  Because you have two CPU cores. Do this instead, to understand more fully the output:
  

  cat /proc/cpuinfo | more
