List of installed aplications: Where is it? [SOLVED]

Post by pp4mnklinux »

]Hello everybody:

Can any of you help me and tell me where can I find a list of all installed aplications in your puppy?

-------------------------------

I can't remember, but I remember than in my xenialpup I have an option to list all the installed apps.-

I can find the aplications at .jwmrc, but I must edit them. Can I find a clear list only with the names of the installed programs ??

Can you help me ?

THANKS A LOT.-

_________________________________________

Solved: Terminal

Code: Select all

cut -f 1,5,10 -d \|  /var/packages/woof-installed-packages > /root/my-installed-packages.csv

Try looking in /var/packages

I don't know if this is what you want, but if I open a terminal emulator and hit the Tab key (in Sakura, I have to hit it twice), then the Y key, I get a list of every program that's installed. I have to keep hitting the Enter key to see the whole list. This has worked in every variant of Puppy that I've tried it in.

Thanks... but what I want is the name of the file where I can find a list of all the installed aplications.

With this I can made a list, but it is a lot of work, so what I want to know ... Is it a file with the list of all preinstalled apps?

Thanks for your help.

(The reason is add it to my derivative, so everybody can know what it has got)

Have a nice day.

@ pp4mnklinux

I can not, so do not, code so this might seem like a shot in the dark -

If you or someone can create a script to extract the file name only of your /var/packages contents to, say, a CSV (Comma Separated Value) format -

Then port this CSV to a word processor where you can edit to your hearts content -

In theory sounds good, in practice I haven't a clue -

Good luck -

Best regards

Thanks, but this is "A partial list of installed programs" in F96CE...

The other solution, as you said implies a lot of work, time and dedication.......

"Partial" being more than 95% of the Menu items. Since your remaster is based on F96-CE, it would be little work to make it 100% if you deem necessary.

@ pp4mnklinux

OK, my last at this -

In BionicPup32-8.0+28 (UPupBB-19.03) - Frugal Install Internal HDD

I go to Applications > Setup > Remove builtin packages -

From the list that is shown -

Take screen shot -

Scroll down, take a screen shot -

Repeat until end of list -

A long job I know but it can be done in stages when time allows -

My limited knowledge has now been exhausted -

Best regards

Please, @wizard , take a look at the capture, it's not me who define this list as "partial" 🤣 .

Thanks a lot for your answers. In conclusion "there is no file with this data"

Thanks a lot for your suggestions of how to obtain this info using different files.

Thanks a lot

what I want is the name of the file where I can find a list of all the installed aplications.

It is more than one file.

But the way the files are written, you will have a hard time reading them.

Example:
woof-installed-packages
.

.
.
If all you want is a list of the installed full programs, just their names, not also all the files that makeup a program.

JWMdesk -> Menu Tab -> Menu Manager -> Item Editor

This will have every installed program listed under the different menu sections.

Click on a section name and a list of all programs for that section will show.
.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o

Create your own file with:

Code: Select all

cut -f 1,5,10 -d \|  /var/packages/woof-installed-packages > /root/my-installed-packages.csv

When opening as spreadsheet choose | as separator

@pp4mnklinux Intention was to separate remaining fields into columns by choosing | as separator:

separator.jpg
separator.jpg (77.49 KiB) Viewed 832 times
columns.jpg
columns.jpg (151.9 KiB) Viewed 832 times

So this is import to openoffice, but IIRC gnumeric offers the selection of separator too...

@pp4mnklinux Why did you mark this thread [SOLVED]?
Are you sure that the applications listed in woof-installed-packages are actually installed? This list seems to be a generic list and is virtually identical in F96-CE, Vanilla Dpup and Jammy64pup, but the SW installed in these 3 distros is different and not all applications in the list are actually installed. And then there are many applications installed but not in any list.

My spreadsheet list was created from the Puppy Menu manually.

Thanks
