Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

]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.-

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

Try looking in /var/packages

/root/.packages works for me.....

@ pp4mnklinux

Yep, mine in BionicPup32-8.0+28 (UPupBB-19.03) - Frugal Install Internal HDD is

/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.

This file is for F96-CE_4, it is most of the files listed in the Menu.

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 -

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.......

Thanks

"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.

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

@wizard What's the source of your spreadsheet?

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.

Create your own file with:

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

When opening as spreadsheet choose | as separator

@HerrBert , Thanks a lot.

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

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.

@MochiMoppel

My spreadsheet list was created from the Puppy Menu manually.

Thanks
