I'am little confused.
Till now I always update all software I have in list when start lite updates and all is ok.
But now have some software I dont want to update but cant chose what to update what not to update, or dont know how to remove some apps from list.

For example:
List of available Updates
1 :  Name: firefox INSTALLED: 62.0.3+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 AVAILABLE: 63.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.2
2 :  Name: teamviewer:i386 INSTALLED: 12.0.137452 AVAILABLE: 14.0.8346

I dont want to update teamviewer to newest because in that case I must buy new license, so I must stay on old version 12.
Pls help
Hello newonlinux,

you can try -
Menu>Settings>Install Drivers
In the gui that appears click the tab named "Other Software" scroll down the list and see if Team Viewer appears on it, if it does click the box next to it to untick it, it will then not check for updates.

If it is not there this link shows 4 different ways to stop a package updating -
