How do I check what packages have been installed?

I did an update yesterday using the Welcome app. So far I had 805 packages and after the update 815. Can I check what packages have been added?

Perhaps some packages have new dependencies.
It happens sometimes that some packages split in two or several as well.

You could look for the date of package transaction in /var/log/pacman.log.

Also, perhaps a bit “smoother”: install pacutils if not installed already. Then use:

paclog --after=DATE

Example: paclog --after=2022-10-30

:eye: paclog --help

Yet another way: install pahis and

pahis --upgraded | grep DATE
pahis --installed | grep DATE

:eye: pahis --help

There are surely other ways to do it. As the saying goes: There are more that one way to smash a bug.

Have you also had the same packages installed recently?

Could it be related to DE Budgie?

Hi @pebcak , i am checking your post. Paclog works for me after installing Pacutils.
Though i cannot find the second option pahis. Where can i find it.

ps expac is another way to filter on installed packages.

$ expac --timefmt='%Y-%m-%d %T' '%l\t%n %v' | sort | tail -200 | nl

pahis is in EnOS’ repo if you got it enabled in your pacman.conf.

If not, you could use the PKGBUILD and build it locally on your system:
