Public bug reported: It would be helpful if synaptic had a 'recently installed' or 'recently changed' filter showing packages that have been installed / removed in the last week / month.
These data could be gathered from /var/log/apt/term.log Example usage Alice installed some software two days ago but can't remember its name. She can't find anything new in the menu. Checking 'recently installed' in synaptic, she quickly finds it, and checks what command she needs to run it. Bob removed some packages he didn't think he needed, but now his bluetooth won't work. With 'recently changed' he can reinstall them. ** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Request: 'Recently installed/changed' in custom filters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
