[05:42] <kaushal> hi
[05:43] <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/
[05:44] <kaushal> please suggest
[06:02] <kaushal> hi
[06:02] <kaushal> I am running Ubuntu linux 9.04 server
[06:03] <kaushal> is there a way to check for bandwith issue on the gateway  server
[06:28] <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"
[06:29] <nisshh> kaushal, why would you want to know from the backend?
[06:31] <kaushal> nisshh: if i miss the gui
[06:32] <kaushal> I looked at /var/lib/dpkg/.......
[06:32] <kaushal> could not see it
[06:33] <nisshh> kaushal, if you miss the GUI?
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <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> :)
[06:51] <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 :)
[06:55] <nisshh> kaushal, ?
[06:57] <kaushal> yeah
[06:57] <kaushal> nisshh: sorry was away
[07:06] <nisshh> heh
[07:06] <nisshh> kaushal, so do you want me to show you how to see the history of your packages?
[07:07] <kaushal> yes
[07:07] <kaushal> I mean on a particular date
[07:08] <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
[07:09] <nisshh> urhm?
[10:00] <blahdeblah> kaushal: In answer to your earlier quesiton, what you're looking for is /var/log/dpkg.log
[10:01] <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.
[10:02] <blahdeblah> Anyone know of an image-based equivalent to pastebin.com?
[10:02] <blahdeblah> Never mind, i'll just stick it on my blog
[10:05] <kaushal> blahdeblah: ok
[10:06] <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.
[10:07] <kaushal> ok
[10:08] <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
[10:09] <kaushal> blahdeblah: got it
[10:09] <kaushal> Thanks blahdeblah 
[10:09] <blahdeblah> np
