My understanding was that allowing the kernel to upgrade was causing you a problem.
I was showing you where you could lock linux-image packages so they would not upgrade.
Do you not see how that relates to your problem?


Well, never mind then. Simply do not allow your system to apply any updates at all, and you will also avoid the problem. If you want a different solution, I might suggest installing Mint. Mint will be quite familiar to you, but Mint-DE is also very good - just based upon Debian core rather than the Ubuntu mods.
