Tell my system not to install any generic kernels anymore

[paul]

I downloaded KXStudio from the repos and installed a low latency kernel, and then uninstalled linux-image-generic (the meta package). But for some reason, the system keeps updating the generic kernel every time a new version is out. (And moreover, it does not keep two versions of the lowlatency kernel, but only the latest one).
Is there a way to tell my system "keep only the two latest lowlatency, and no generic", as it usually is in KXStudio?

Thanks.

You probably have a generic kernel "meta-package" installed. To find it, try this:

Code: Select all

dpkg -l 'linux*' |grep generic

Anything with "un" in front has been uninstalled, "ii" is still installed.
Be careful what you remove!

FYI, linux-lowlatency-lts-vivid (Ubuntu lowlatency kernel for 15.04 "Vivid" release) is what I'm using on Mint+KXstudio (based on Ubuntu 14.04). I *think* that gets me important security patches for 3.19.xx (which I needed for hardware support) but no major or minor version upgrades.
