Hi all:

I upgraded my Ubuntu yesterday and automatically got the newer Linux Kernel version 6.5.0-14-generic #14~22.04.1-Ubuntu. Previously, I was running kernel version 6.2 .

I still have a legacy system on the network using SMB protocol version 1.0.

With the new kernel version, copying files does not work reliably anymore. Some random byte blocks in the destination files are overwritten with binary zeros. It happens quite often.

This is not the first time the Linux guys temporarily break SMB protocol version 1.0, see for example this bug report of mine:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2033732

I checked package linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04 with Synaptic, and now it lists just 2 versions:
  6.5.0.14.14~22.04.7 (jammy-updates)
  5.15.0.25.27 (jammy)
Is there a way to go back to the latest 6.2 kernel version?

How do I prevent Ubuntu from upgrading to 6.5 next time around? I have searched the Internet, but I haven't
found yet a usable answer. I don't want to go back all the way to Kernel 5.15 if I can avoid it.

Thanks in advance,
