I'm considering rebuilding my system. Is there any way to get the list of software that I added? I know I can see the list of installed software in Ubuntu Software Center, but that list includes items that were included. Rather than going through that long list to see what was included and what I added, is there a way to see only the items I added?

The purpose is to get a figure of what packages I need to install when I reinstall my system.In Gentoo one can look at the world-file (/var/lib/portage/world) which is a list of my explicitly installed packages, not including system packages (located in /var/lib/portage/system)

SELinux settings?

How to make a backup of installed applications?
In the answer there was some program which would create a file listing all installed apps and store it in /home. On updating the OS or re-installing, the file would be used to re-install all apps listed.
Finally, I found time to start moving from 8.10 to 10.10. I now start preparing the moving (backup data etc). I have installed quite a lot of software via the package manager, many of them I do not remember. Is there a possibility to create a list of installed software in Ubuntu 8.10 ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn MacPorts, the ports I would be looking for are the requested ports. They have a system so that when you install a port, that port is marked as requested. Also if you want to keep a port that was installed as a dependency, you can set it to be requested manually. Does the Debian system have the same functionality? It seems that there are some utilities that get that done..

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to list all packages I installed since the installation. The tricky part is that I don't care for dependencies - only clean list of what I ordered to install. I went through man pages and I did not find anything relevant. Also /var/log/apt/history* doesn't say what I requested and what came as a dependency.
For gentoo-aware folks, I am looking for something like "world" file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI made this thread last night~[URL]... Because my Ubuntu failed, and i have no idea why. I hadnt done anything different or risky.. and Ive no idea what to do. So, It appears Im going to have to do a re-install. Which, I really dont mind too much... (especially with Ubuntu) But It will stink if i *again* lose all my bookmarks , and lose track of all my installed programs. The programs, not as much of an issue as the bookmarks in my browser.. I would like to know, If I can somehow access the HDD from the LiveCD, So that I can create just a simple text list of all programs installed on the hdd? I cannot access my HDD except through the LiveCD So is there a way I can do this? Some kind of simple command I can toss into terminal, and have it output me a text file of all programs installed? or something? I really am totally clueless on how I would be able to save my chromium bookmarks.
