I have not had a problem so far, but want to be prepared.
I've been blithely (blindly?) installing all updates recommended by Update Manager. Now should my machine abruptly go south after an update, I would reasonably suspect one of the updates. So I would want to back-out the last batch, get stable again, and then investigate.
How can I determine what was included in the last batch, and individually back each out until I reach the apparent troublemaker?
No flames, please, but if I was still using Windows, I'd go into add/remove programs, filter for updates, sorting by date and be able to see what my last installed updates were -- and back each out.
How do I do the same in Ubuntu?
Thanks much! BTW, I'm dual booting Vista / Ubuntu 8.04 now, but haven't booted Vista in about 3 weeks. Well on my way, folks! :)
