Update Manager

[Woods]

Is there a way to copy the info on History of updates window on Update Manager to a .csv file or directly to an LibreOffice spreadsheet?

It's just that it is too time consuming to write them down manually on calc (and it is my little ocd playing here).

Menu, Administration, Backup Tool, Backup software selection will give you a list of everything installed, but not a chronological history of when it was installed.

Or open the terminal and enter

Code: Select all

egrep -w 'upgrade|install' /var/log/ dpkg.log

It's a cool thing, but I still hope to find what I am looking for. Thanks!

Or open the terminal and enter

Code: Select all

egrep -w 'upgrade|install' /var/log/ dpkg.log

I get this:

Code: Select all

egrep: /var/log/: Is a directory
egrep: dpkg.log: No such file or directory

Should I say I am on Mint 17.2 MATE? It is said.

Nice, this is cool! Now, is there a way to script this into a csv file?

egrep -w 'upgrade|install' /var/log/dpkg.log|sed 's/ /,/g'>~/dpkg_log.csv

I imported it into libreoffice calc.

No typo error this time
