[SOLVED] Linux Mint upgrade from 19.0 to 19.1 log

[rimvydukas]

Hi,

So I did upgrade. It seems that all went fine but I'm interested in the following - is there any mint upgrade log? I was able to open upgrade details window, where I was able to see how packages are upgraded but I want to examine this upgrade procedure in more detail. So is there any log file where all upgrade output is logged?

Have a look at the following and see if that's what you are looking for:
/var/log/apt/history.log
/var/log/dpkg.log
Also: Update Manager: View: History of updates

Hi,

history.log shows only which packages were upgraded and not the whole upgrade process (package after package). dpkg.log shows not exactly the same output what I saw during packages upgrade time:( I want to see something similar like:

Code: Select all

Hello, rimvydukas.

I suggest to have a look at the logfile /var/log/apt/term.log.

Best regards,
Karl
