Thread: Want to go back 8 hours before upgrades

Upgraded to latest Cups as well as Vbox this morning having issues. Need to scroll back to hpw system was prior to upgrades.. Yesterday at 5PM for example.

You cannot relapse your system to the state it had on a precise point in time. You can but (in most cases where it matters) to decide the version of the package you want.

Holding a package mainly means you're requesting the package manager to maintain the existing version despite what. This is helpful if more current adaptation of a presently operational program stop working after an update.

The following will explain the procedure of in fact holding the package, there are numerous options to achieve this:

Synaptic

First way to hold a package is in Synaptic:

• Go to Synaptic: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
• Click on the Search as well as type the package's given name in the Search box
• Underline the version you need to pin Make definite that you choose the exact version
• Once the exact package is chosen, Click on the Package -> Lock Version
• And shut the Synaptic

Apt/Dpkg

Second way is to grasp it with Apt/Dpkg:

• Open up a terminal
• sudo -s as well as hit the enter
• Enter your password for sudo

Code:

•	echo libxfont1 hold | dpkg --set-selections

Replace libxfont1 with the package you want to pin

• At present run the sudo apt-get update plus after that sudo apt-get upgrade
