That command was in the link I posted and I did try it.
However you got me to double-check. Turns out I did something stupid. When the directions said:
Code:
echo "package hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
I literally typed "package hold". The command did not error out but
Code:
dpkg --get-selections
showed that unity was still set to "install", not "hold".
So I tried:
Code:
echo unity hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
And now unity is set to "hold", not "install".
It's sort of working now, Unity still appears in Update Manager but it is unchecked and can't be rechecked. So I guess this means I won't be able to accidentally update it, which is good. It's just a little messy.
Thank you.
