Linux 16.04 how do I prevent it from upgrading to 18.04?

[mrchow19910319]

I just wanna stay at 16.04 for a while cos I realised that a lot of the repos and apps only runs well on 16.04/.

 

How do I prevent it from automatically updating to the latest OS?

Or does ubuntu do that??? 

 

Which option should I un-check under software update?

Ubuntu will never upgrade itself automatically, you have to confirm it.

Just never issue "sudo do-release-upgrade" and you'll stay on 16.04

upon installing ubuntu 16.04.. it keeps popping out this window that says: 

 

choose password for new keyring. 

 

what does that mean??

Are you using automatic login? The keyring is where keys (such as SSH keys) and passwords are saved.
