How do I find the last logged system boot and shutdown times?
I'm a Rails developer working on a web application on Ubuntu Server 10.04. Due to internal requirements, I was asked to find the last 10 system boot and shutdown times... I have no clue where to find these details. Could someone help me out?

Use the last command.
last -x | grep shutdown
last -x | grep reboot
You can pipe this to the head to read the last n instances. For example, in your case:
last -x | grep shutdown | head -n 10
You also should set
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
in the /etc/default/bootlogd file (it could be No by default).

For a GUI method you can use hardinfo as described here: Does Ubuntu have a "device manager" equivalent? And what is an easy way to access USB drives?.
Under the section Boots you will see this:
Installation is straight forward using:
sudo apt install hardinfo
