Disable the Package-Kit dist-upgrade notification

[JNowka]

I have dealt with this for a while, but now its driving me a bit insane. I am working on a laptop that I use as my software development system. I have spent many hours customising everything so that it will just work. And as of now it is running near flawless. With what I have heard with karmic, i am willing to hang back and wait for the next iteration of ubuntu to come out. But I have this notification in my taskbar that keeps coming up notifying me about a dist-upgrade to karmic koala 9.10. I have gone to System Settings -> Notifications and unchecked all the dist-upgrade options. Yet it remains. Does anyone know how to disable it so that it doesn't show for dist-upgrade anymore. I do want to see it when I have bug fixes and the like.

Thanks,
j

I had the same problem, I wanted always to disable this in jaunty and when I googled that I just found your thread that no one replied to it .

And way CONGRATULATION ............. I solved That by my own efforts

just open the terminal and type

sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgradesThen edit that file

# default behavior for the release upgrader
#

[DEFAULT]
# default prompting behavior, valid options:
# never - never prompt for a new distribution version
# normal - prompt if a new version of the distribution is available
# lts - prompt only if a LTS version of the distribution is available
Prompt=normal You will notice that if you replaced "normal" by "never", it will stop dist-upgrade notification, that dose not mean that will stop all notifications, it will stop only the release upgrade one :)........... I think u like that :)

Then "ctrl+x" to save the changes
done..

I believe I already corrected myself, but if you have the need to do so again for me that is ok with me.

It is no big deal really, I like to have some fun in here. That is the problem with the written word- you can't see body language and hear sarcasm & the like. You really didn't have to erase it.
