I'd like to disable/remove autoupdate for the certain packages in a repository. In particular, I want this package to stop autoupdating:

I just don't want to install it. Is it possible to prevent it from appearing each time I boot my comp?

You can disable it via terminal with apt-mark

sudo apt-mark hold onboard

to allow updating again use "unhold"

sudo apt-mark unhold onboard

  • how do I know the proper name of the package? – Incerteza Nov 21 '15 at 03:04
  • it is "onboard" run: `sudo apt-mark hold onboard` – Clay Hill Nov 21 '15 at 03:10
  • in this case yes, it's on board, but if it was something like "my super Module package for Ubuntu 14"? – Incerteza Nov 23 '15 at 05:15
  • I usually just google the package and than it takes be to the package page on [ubuntu](http://packages.ubuntu.com/) , [ubuntu updates](http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/), or [launchpad](https://launchpad.net/). A better way may be using the `apt-cache my-super` command. it will try to search for the name and return the package name. – Clay Hill Nov 23 '15 at 06:28
