About log file

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 8.04

On running "aptitude upgrade" I found some error displayed on terminal. Please advise which log file I have to check on /var/log/

TIA

I am not sure what exactly you are trying to check if the error message was printed on the screen but the log file for aptitude is /var/log/aptitude.

Hi daark.child,


Thanks for your advice.

Sorry it is NOT there. It is on /var/log/apt/term.log

I have follows copied on the terminal during running "aptitude upgrade"
