The reason for this is that its looking for the CD. The GUI way to fix this is run update manger

Select Settings and a new window will open

On the Ubuntu Software tab there is an area at the bottom that says "Installable from CD ROM" uncheck all entries in this box

The non GUI way is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list with your favourite text editor

Find the entry that corresponds to

cdrom://Kubuntu 12.10 _Quantal Quetzal_ - Release i386 (20121017.1)/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages

add a # as the first character on that line to comment it out and you should be able to update.

In a terminal

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you get any errors report back here. If not its fixed please mark the question solved

You can remove the source in software centre or edit /etc/apt/sources.list

Can you help with this problem?
