prevent updates in ubuntu

To prevent the update of certain packages in Ubuntu, you can use Synaptic to lock those packages. This is accomplished by selecting the package and then choosing Package > Lock version from the menu.

For example, in order to prevent kernel updates, the following packages should be locked:
- linux-headers-generic
- linux-image-generic
- linux-headers-generic-pae
- linux-generic
