I want a right click option on the updates in Update Manager which allows me to lock the version of a software and not update it. I know this functionality exists somewhere in Synaptic Package Manager, but still it would be convenient.

Example:
I have nvidia card on desktop and there was an intel video driver update recently, so it came up in Update Manager. I didn't want to install it obviously, so I unchecked it. But still every time I boot up, it shows new updates are available, and I see only that intel driver. If I get a 'do not update option' it would be handy.

Thanks

Similar functionality has been available on W*****s for some time with the ForumWare program "ProcessTamer".
This suggestion is an intentional duplicate, but with a less technical title.

alternatively in synaptic > file >history > entry
add uninstall checkboxes, something like this http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1xv4.png

or perhaps even better add a 'history' entry in the left pane of synaptic (where it says section,status,origin etc)
with isntall history sorted by date/time with uninstall checkboxes as in the screenshot above
