  • Why do you want to do this? I doubt it will be possible without changing the source code and recompiling, and I can't imagine the use case. – l0b0 Jun 18 '13 at 10:48

To disable the update notifier, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false

Note: Keep in mind that doing so won't keep your system updated with security and other important updates.

To disable updates, in terminal do:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic

When it opens change the "1" to "0" as shown in the image below, and

Then change the Automatically Check for Updates to "Never" as shown in the image below.
