current installed packages

[micahpage]

I know

dpkg --get-selections

will show "all" my packages installed

I was looking for all packages "I" installed, not dependencies of upgrades or updates or default ubuntu packages, etc. Like packages i have manually installed via

sudo apt-get install <package>

Is there a way to figure this out?

[jerrrys]

maybe

/user/share/applications

[oldos2er]

Look in /var/log/apt/history.log

Look in /var/log/apt/history.log

that is exactly what i was looking for, except the log only goes back the last 4 days. I was hoping to get all

so far /usr/share/applications seems to be the only possibility?

Check that same folder for a previous history logfile that is compressed as an archive (like history.log.1.gz). That will pick up prior to 4 days ago, and depending on how you log system is setup and how long you've been running your system, you may have even older, archived logs.
