How to block kernel upgrade (cifs bug) ?

[fdelente]

Hello,

I have xubuntu 14.04 installed with the 3.13.0-32 kernel, and CIFS works correctly; if I upgrade, I get kernel 3.13.0-37 in which CIFS is broken and can't mount my network drives. How can I stop 3.13.0-37 to install, I want to keep 3.13.0-32 as my kernel.

Thanks.

If you manually upgrade in terminal, the kernel will remain the same.

sudo apt-get upgrade
Update manager uses dist-upgrade which also updates the kernel.

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If you use synaptic to update/upgrade it can also be set to standard upgrade and will not update kernel.
