how to disable permanently package ubuntu 20.04?

Question

I have a problem if I upgrade / update the kernel then the operating system error because I have an old version of my laptop. so I want to permanently disable the package to update / upgrade the kernel how do I do it?

i use this command

sudo apt-mark hold linux-headers-5.13.0-30-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-hwe-5.13-headers-5.13.0-30
sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-5.13.0-30-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-modules-5.13.0-30-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-modules-extra-5.13.0-30-generic

but after rebooting linux still asks for a kernel upgrade, I'm confused, how to permanently disable this kernel update / upgrade, I want to keep using the default kernel from ubuntu 20.04 which is kernel 5.8.0

Please clarify your OS & release, as you've tagged it's a 14.04 release and 20.04? Ubuntu 20.04 supported kernels are GA = 5.4 & HWE = 5.13, plus some OEM options with the 5.8 kernel not being a supported 20.04 or focal kernel; so are you using Ubuntu? (5.8 was the kernel at 20.04.2 if using HWE, but ceased being supported at 20.04.3 as it then used 5.11, at 20.04.4 it upgraded to 5.13; the GA kernel is the stable option that does not change during the life of the LTS release) — guiverc, Mar 08 '22 at 00:59
Does this answer your question? What is more reliable - apt-mark or APT-pin (/etc/apt/preferences.d/pin) for version locking? — N0rbert, Mar 08 '22 at 08:48
