| kaushal | hi | 05:42 |
| kaushal | I just updated my laptop using update manager | 05:43 |
| kaushal | is there a way to know which are the packages which has been updated | 05:43 |
| kaushal | I saw it in /var/lib/dpkg/ | 05:43 |
| kaushal | please suggest | 05:44 |
| kaushal | hi | 06:02 |
| kaushal | I am running Ubuntu linux 9.04 server | 06:02 |
| kaushal | is there a way to check for bandwith issue on the gateway server | 06:03 |
| nisshh | kaushal, to your earlier question, when you update using update manager, the list of packages about to be updated is shown in the update-manager window | 06:28 |
| kaushal | nisshh: ok | 06:28 |
| kaushal | is there a way to know from the backend ? | 06:28 |
| nisshh | kaushal, and as for you most recent question, what do you mean by "gateway server" | 06:28 |
| nisshh | kaushal, why would you want to know from the backend? | 06:29 |
| kaushal | nisshh: if i miss the gui | 06:31 |
| kaushal | I looked at /var/lib/dpkg/....... | 06:32 |
| kaushal | could not see it | 06:32 |
| nisshh | kaushal, if you miss the GUI? | 06:33 |
| kaushal | nisshh: for example if i want to know which particular packages has been updated on a particular date | 06:36 |
| nisshh | kaushal, the only way you would miss the GUI is if you have any type of updates set to download and install automatically, personally, i dont use update-manager, i use apt-get from the command line | 06:36 |
| kaushal | nisshh: ok | 06:36 |
| nisshh | kaushal, i am fairly sure that is possible, but i do not know how, sorry, ill do a quick google for you :) | 06:37 |
| kaushal | nisshh: sure and Thanks | 06:37 |
| kaushal | much appreciated | 06:37 |
| nisshh | :) | 06:37 |
| nisshh | kaushal, aha! you can see all state changes to packages by using a little menu option in synaptic | 06:51 |
| nisshh | that took some digging to find :) | 06:51 |
| nisshh | kaushal, ? | 06:55 |
| kaushal | yeah | 06:57 |
| kaushal | nisshh: sorry was away | 06:57 |
| nisshh | heh | 07:06 |
| nisshh | kaushal, so do you want me to show you how to see the history of your packages? | 07:06 |
| kaushal | yes | 07:07 |
| kaushal | I mean on a particular date | 07:07 |
| nisshh | kaushal, open up synaptic and go to the file menu then click on the history button | 07:08 |
| kaushal | ok | 07:08 |
| nisshh | kaushal, although, unfortunately, i think that dialog only shows the activity within synaptic | 07:08 |
| kaushal | nisshh: if its on the server side | 07:08 |
| nisshh | urhm? | 07:09 |
| blahdeblah | kaushal: In answer to your earlier quesiton, what you're looking for is /var/log/dpkg.log | 10:00 |
| blahdeblah | kaushal: For checking bandwidth, there are quite a few options, including iftop, iptraf, wireshark/tshark, and ntop. There are also hundreds of things based on SNMP that will give you what you're looking for. | 10:01 |
| blahdeblah | Anyone know of an image-based equivalent to pastebin.com? | 10:02 |
| blahdeblah | Never mind, i'll just stick it on my blog | 10:02 |
| kaushal | blahdeblah: ok | 10:05 |
| blahdeblah | kaushal: Actually, better still, check out http://cacti.net/screenshots.php | 10:06 |
| blahdeblah | That is the tool i use to graph statistics from my servers - it's good for a general overview | 10:06 |
| blahdeblah | But if you want detailed analysis, something like one of the other 4 tools i mentioned is going to give you better results. | 10:06 |
| kaushal | ok | 10:07 |
| kaushal | blahdeblah: also lets say if I have updated any packages recently is there a way to know it which package has been updated | 10:08 |
| kaushal | is it dpkg.log ? | 10:08 |
| blahdeblah | yep | 10:08 |
| kaushal | ok | 10:08 |
| kaushal | blahdeblah: got it | 10:09 |
| kaushal | Thanks blahdeblah | 10:09 |
| blahdeblah | np | 10:09 |
