At work I can’t afford to have my Ubuntu system update and possibly wipe out some important libraries I need, and I get pretty tired of closing the Update Manager every time it decides I need to update so here’s how to stop it:
- System > Administration > Update Manager
- Open Settings (in the bottom left corner)
- Under Automatic Updates
- Uncheck “Check for updates: “
- Hit Close and the settings should be saved.
