I am having some difficulty with recent software updates and this is not the first time.
By pressing the shift key on startup I can (usually) get the grub menu but when I choose "advanced options" it only shows 2 options: 3.13.0-24 and 3.13.0-24 (recovery mode) whereas I understood it should show previous kernel versions.
I already stick to only LTS versions of Ubuntu. What is a safe way to accept updates in future please? How can I install only the most tested updates? I would like to be able to easily roll them back if they cause problems. In other words I am looking for the Linux equivalent of making a Windows system restore point. Maybe I should never accept updates but wait until the next LTS version and then upgrade?
