[02:42] blahdeblah: ok. how would you like to receive payment? [04:02] jfer: paypal works for me... [04:03] blahdeblah: how much would it cost? [04:07] jfer: somewhere around the $3 mark [04:08] can you send me the details? [04:40] blahdeblah: no worries mate [05:42] hi [05:43] I just updated my laptop using update manager [05:43] is there a way to know which are the packages which has been updated [05:43] I saw it in /var/lib/dpkg/ [05:44] please suggest [06:02] hi [06:02] I am running Ubuntu linux 9.04 server [06:03] is there a way to check for bandwith issue on the gateway server [06:28] 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] nisshh: ok [06:28] is there a way to know from the backend ? [06:28] kaushal, and as for you most recent question, what do you mean by "gateway server" [06:29] kaushal, why would you want to know from the backend? [06:31] nisshh: if i miss the gui [06:32] I looked at /var/lib/dpkg/....... [06:32] could not see it [06:33] kaushal, if you miss the GUI? [06:36] nisshh: for example if i want to know which particular packages has been updated on a particular date [06:36] 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] nisshh: ok [06:37] kaushal, i am fairly sure that is possible, but i do not know how, sorry, ill do a quick google for you :) [06:37] nisshh: sure and Thanks [06:37] much appreciated [06:37] :) [06:51] kaushal, aha! you can see all state changes to packages by using a little menu option in synaptic [06:51] that took some digging to find :) [06:55] kaushal, ? [06:57] yeah [06:57] nisshh: sorry was away [07:06] heh [07:06] kaushal, so do you want me to show you how to see the history of your packages? [07:07] yes [07:07] I mean on a particular date [07:08] kaushal, open up synaptic and go to the file menu then click on the history button [07:08] ok [07:08] kaushal, although, unfortunately, i think that dialog only shows the activity within synaptic [07:08] nisshh: if its on the server side [07:09] urhm? [10:00] kaushal: In answer to your earlier quesiton, what you're looking for is /var/log/dpkg.log [10:01] 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] Anyone know of an image-based equivalent to pastebin.com? [10:02] Never mind, i'll just stick it on my blog [10:05] blahdeblah: ok [10:06] kaushal: Actually, better still, check out http://cacti.net/screenshots.php [10:06] That is the tool i use to graph statistics from my servers - it's good for a general overview [10:06] 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] ok [10:08] 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] is it dpkg.log ? [10:08] yep [10:08] ok [10:09] blahdeblah: got it [10:09] Thanks blahdeblah [10:09] np
