upgrade - Disable Ubuntu Update Manager's new version warning


How to disallow Ubuntu to upgrade from like 11.10 to 12.04?


I know that its your wish if you want to upgrade, but I don't want the message in update manager that says a new release is available to get displayed.


All help will be appreciated



Open the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades with your favorite text editor, ie:


sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

Change the Prompt= line from Prompt=foo_setting to Prompt=never.


If you want a graphical way of doing it open the Ubuntu Software Center and under Edit > Software Sources > Updates you will find a Notify me of a new Ubuntu version option, from the drop box select Never.
