Is there a Linode Log File of Update Progress Messages?
Hi I'm running an apache server using Ubuntu 16.04.06 LTS. When I upgrade my server software (ie, apt-get update … etc) I get a long list of messages/lines of text in my console window describing what's happening as the update executes.
These update messages quickly exceed the boundaries of my console window, and so far as I know, there's no way to scroll back up to review it when it finishes.
Is there a log file written to my Linode somewhere which I could download to review the update messages?

Hey there,
You can find your available apt logs here:
/var/log/apt
You may also want to view packages installed using dpkg, which you can do here:
/var/log/dpkg.log
In order to view output with scrollback, you can connect to your Linode using ssh. We hope that helps!
Sincerely,
