So, the software updater comes up and says that there is a new Ubuntu version, do you want to upgrade it or not. I accidentally press yes. After that I interrupted the upgrade by closing it, and rebooting.

Now I can't download packages, because they're disabled. It says:

Disabled on upgrade to Xenial

How can i stop that upgrade to Xenial?

This is my first question, so I apologize if it's formatted incorrectly. .

I don't know how you managed to get trusty to upgrade to Xenial, which is still not finished. Scheduled to be released on April 21st.

To revert the changes

  • In the Software & Updates go to the tab Other Software
  • enable all the Trusty packages,
    • or rename the xenial part to trusty.

To set it to a default setting do the following:

  • In the dash search for Software & Updates
  • Open Software & Updates
  • select the Updates tab
  • in the Notify me of a new Ubuntu Version, select For long-term support versions

This will only notify you when Xenial, the stable version, is out

Note: None of this is recommended, and might break your system. Use at your own risk.

I'd recommended to do a full backup of everything and just do a clean install.

See the following Q/A for further information on how to rollback to a previous version of Ubuntu:
