Possible Duplicate:

Failed to download repository information due to missing CDROM






I have an 11.04 machine, and I'd like to upgrade to 12.04. I'm using the Update Manager to do so. It gets to the "Setting new software channels" step when I get this error:



Error during update



The complete description is:



W:Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120425)/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages  Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs

, W:Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120425)/dists/precise/restricted/binary-i386/Packages  Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs

, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


What do I do?

Try this

Run in terminal:



gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list



there are the top few lines referencing the CD, add a hash character at the start to make them comments, save the new file and close gedit. A hash character is a '#'



Now try updating
Is it smooth?
