Like a log, or a command or something of that nature?

You can use the 'history' feature of the Software Centre:

Software Centre History

There is also a log file (/var/log/dpkg.log). You can view the changes made on a certain date by running:

cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep 2010-11-05

(replace 2010-11-05 with the date you are querying.)

    There is a log in /var/log/dpkg.log Nov 5, 2010 at 14:52
  • Thanks I didn't even see the button there for the history, I suppose it has been there all along (since the Software Center was introduced), oh well, guess I will have to learn to pay more attention.

  • AFAIK it was introduced in Ubuntu 10.10

I believe you can see a log of what and when packages have been installed, upgraded and removed using the Ubuntu Software Centre.

Just click on: Applications > Ubuntu Software Centre > History

More information on this functionality is available on the Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#History%20section
