Would it be possible to buffer all the stdin, stdout and stderr during updates/installation and viewing them inside the pacui after the task finishes? I don't use scrollbuffer cause I usually never need one, but this is the only time when I might. Also when I did use scrollbuffers with urxvt, it didn't behaved quite right and I saw few lines multiple times when I shouldn't. I could end up recompiling AUR package again when it fails cause I couldn't see all the warnings and errors :( (maybe I am using completely wrong approach).
Or maybe simpler way to show only pacman.log from last update (which I don't know how would you get the date from the latest update) and pipe it to less.
I am against smartctl, because not all users have smartmontools installed and + those 2 commands mentioned fails on my system probably due luks full disk encryption. Would be difficult to create general working solution I guess.

Please specify device type with the -d option.
Forgive me I have very simplistic and limited knowledge.
Have a nice day.
how about a new option in pacui: "view log files"?
although this is usually not helpful for package management, it could help to identify problems on a user's system.
these are some log files, which could be implemented:
please suggest more log files, which you think are important and useful.
