One of the best thing about Ubuntu is that the availability of constant updates. The download includes updates for the operating system and its application as well. The interval between updates is so shorter it makes you to get updates almost every day or sometimes more than once in a day.

Though this is good for maintaining healthy status of your Ubuntu, it turns out to be annoying sometimes when you don’t want to update it everyday. So instead you can opt to update it once in a week or month.

So you can just disable the updates you don’t want to and then enable it whenever you wish to update your Ubuntu. Do this will set you free from annoying update notification pop-ups.

To disable updates in Ubuntu, go to:

System -> Administration -> Software Sources and then open the Updates tab.

Here you can now disable the updates.
