lirc download error from software center

[Old Jimma]

Hi Community:

I'm struggling to install infared to help MythTV work.

I'm running 12.04.1.

I went to the software center to install lirc and got the message:

CD/DVD 'Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120823.1)' is required

Please insert the above CD/DVD into the drive '/media/cdrom/' to install software packages from it.

What should I do now?

Uncheck CDrom

Hi Jerrys:

All of the checkboxes are checked. However, I upgraded to Precise using the automatic upgrade path... I didn't use a CD.

I'll burn an ISO of 12.04.1, put it in the reader, and try again.

Thanks!

If you have a good internet connection, there's really no need to use a CD as your source. Just make sure you have the CD source un-checked.

I uncheck "CD" on synaptic and it worked!
