Prevent upgrading of ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04












0















So, new here so...



I downgraded my ubuntu drive from 18.04 to 16.04 (For tensorflow 1.12 and cuda 9. Had to downgrade.) My question is how would I keep it that way, so that I can use 'sudo apt-get upgrade' safely in a way that it doesn't break the whole system...?

  • Ubuntu/debian systems allow upgrade, but not downgrade of packages (without a lot of work) so I'm assuming you re-installed. A sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will not bump your release from 16.04 to 18.04 -- unless you have a misconfigured sources.list file that allows bionic (18.04) packages to be added/installed on your system. Ubuntu uses a do-release-upgrade or a different tool to change-releases. apt-get doesn't do that by itself.
