    There are many commands to achieve that. Here is a simple GUI method: Synaptic > File > History.

    Try:

    Code:
    sudo more /var/log/apt/term.log
    Or

    Code:
    more /var/log/dpkg.log
    Don't try to make something "fast" until you are able to quantify "slow".

    Code:
    history
    Will not show packages downloaded and installed through Synaptic. I like the workaround, however .
