I'm having problems getting last update time(like I see sometimes in Update Manager).

Do you think it's possible to get from SSH a file/command that will show last update check for the current system ?

Thank you

Look at the /var/log/apt/history.log. This file contains information of when, what was updated and how long it took. The field 'Commandline' can also tell whether the update was run automatically or by hand.

To find out the time of last update check have a look at these files:

  • /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp #the time of a daily update check
  • /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp #the time of last update-check. For example if you have run apt-get update manually some time later
