way of listing installed applications

[winluck7]

hi. I'm a newbie here. I'm just wondering if there's a command/log for listing recently installed applications/rpm's? i think i have installed a package before that is conflicting with others.

Probably many ways. One is rpm -qa | grep packagename. That will list anything installed with that name. For example

[glenn@coolhand ~]$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
kerneloops-0.11-1.fc9.i386
kernel-devel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686
kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686
kernel-headers-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i386

Another method would be

yum list installed |  grep more

That's the first two that come to mind.

To list every package installed, do:

rpm -qa

You can use names and wildcards to narrow a search, eg.:

rpm -qa partialname*

To see everything yum has done (installs, removes, updates), view the file /var/log/yum.log

Edit: @glennzo ... Again?! Damn, you're too fast for me.

To list recently installed, just look at the end of /var/log/yum.log. However, packages installed without YUM (i.e., installed via RPM, SmartPackageManager, 'make install', etc.) won't be on that log file.

Hello:
If you want to see all of them, try

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{VENDOR}\n"|sort |cat -b >> /home/username/installedrpms

Then open up the text file installedrpms in your home directory.

Hi Seve. How do you remember complicated commands like that?

Glenn I can barely remember what day it is.
At some point in the past I was looking for a solution to the same question. So I started hacking around and when I found the format that I wanted (this one is a generic one) I saved all my scribbles in a text document.
It's just a habit I've gotten into as it saves me re-inventing the wheel each time.
