Hi all
Running Lubuntu 16.04.1 on a PC with a Nvidia GE Force 7300 GS video card.
Up until recently I have been using the Nvidia-304.131-0ubuntu3 amd64
driver but it has been updated to version 304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2. This
latest version caused problems with mythtv -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1639215 - so I have reverted
back to the 131 version and all works okay.
I have tried pinning/holding version 131, and apt-mark shows that it is
held. Unfortunately, every time there is a security update it show that
it will be upgrading to the next version (and did so today).
Is this normal for pinning and security updates (or any updates)? I have
tried using apt-mark and synaptic to lock the version.
Thanks for your time.
Kevin
