Problems in running apt-get update

[beforewisdom]

Hi;

I'm on Ubuntu 10.10

For the last several months I have been using apt-get update instead of the update manager. The latter simply does nothing when I hit the "authenticate" button.

Today when using apt-get update I got something odd:



Hit http://packages.medibuntu.org maverick/non-free i386 Packages
Media change: please insert the disc labeled
'Xubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101008.1)'
in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter

I installed Xubuntu a few months back and removed it. I never used a cd.

I've relied on the update manager for a long time so I have no idea of how to fix things with package lists.

Could someone tell me how to fix this problem and possibly get update manager working again?

Thanks

You can manage your sources graphically with 'Software Sources' under the settings menu. You can also manually edit the /etc/apt/sources/list:



sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list


Substitute your editor of choice for 'nano'. Look for the cdrom line and delete or comment it out.

Thank you.

I commented that line out and that solved the problem.
