Hi everyone.

I've got a Samsung R20 running Ubuntu 8.04. These laptops are notoriously problematic regarding graphic drivers (ATI Radeon Xpress).

I've just got my X configuration right, problem is, everytime I upgrade xorg-server, I'm without a screen (pretty boring).

Is there any way to disable the notification to update a certain package (eg xorg-server) without removing it from the system?

Thanks!

Try locking the package version in Synaptic. Open synaptic package manager (system>admin>synaptic package manager) and search for the package that you want to lock and highlight it and select "Package" and then "lock version"

Worked perfectly.

Many thanks.
