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

I get a red triangle with a yellow field in the top bar, when i move the cursor over it says "the update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer valid. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then select "check for updates" and check if some repositories fail.

I did so and got the top result.

You need to run the software sources and uncheck the CD as a repo

Its in the section NOT highlighted here:

Just untick the CDROM, Click close and retry. You currently have the CD marked as a repo but do not have the CD in the drive.

You can alternatively run:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and comment out the CD lines (by adding a # character to the start of the lines with CDROM in, save the new file and close gedit.

Either way after the change run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

and it should be ok
