Asked by UbuntuAma

Hello Gurus
I want to update my Ubuntu and i get this message
" Could not download all repository indexes

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct"

and also

"Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)]/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs

You seem to have the ubuntu CDROM specified as a software source, if you have a good internet connection, you can remove this ortherwise you'll need to put the ubuntu CDROM in the cd-drive

to remove the cdrom as a software source do
System->Administration->Software Sources
uncheck the checbox next to the "Cdrom with ..."

if you still have problems try changing the Download server
