Hello,

I just purchased a used Nokia 770. I would like to know how I can find out the date of user application software is installed. Is there a log file or date stamped on the specific file?

Also, i am interest to know same information for the OS.

Please advise.

Thanks

I am not quite sure why would one want to know the apps installation date. If you are concerned with the app version, go menu>tools>app manager>show installed apps will give you the version of installed apps, is that what you want? and click the 3rd entries on the same page, check for undate will tell you whether a newer version is available, in general. There are exceptions you will soon find out...

Menu>control panel>about products shows the OS.

Hello,

Yes, I do want to know the date of when an application was installed. I am investigate a case where I need to know when the app is installed. And the OS installed date.

Thanks

-Start an xterm.
-Find out which files are included in an application: dpkg --list name-of-package
-When you know the names of the files (or you knew one in advance), pick one of the non-mutable ones (e.g. one in /usr/bin or /bin or /sbin, for example), and list the date of last change: e.g. 'ls -lc /usr/bin/maemo-mapper' (without the quotes)
- The OS installation date is more tricky, because it's been installed by flashing a full image (and this will also make the above trick for individual applications fail for applications pre-installed with the OS image). However, the following _might_ just work: ls -ld /etc/rc0.d
