Ubuntu 8.04 update manager needs mystery disk

Asked by Ernest H

Where do I find the disk "Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope -Release i386 (20090420.1)" which update manager has started to ask for instead of the usual Ubuntu 8.04 *.iso (used to install my present system)
The usual places seem not to recognise it.
Until now the original ubu 8.04 innstall disk was alwaus enough !!
I am now puzzled, stuck, and almost driven back to Win..s (pardon the 4letter word !!)

Look at your sources list. Open a Terminal and input the command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Probably at the top you will see a line about the CD. Make that line ineffective by putting a # at the beginning of the line. Save. Close. Try again

Also you might be able to do much the same through using Synaptic Package Manager but it will give more of a hint how to fully take advantage of this sort of thing. Go up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager

it asks for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one. Click on

Settings - Repositories

and then the 2 tabs "Ubuntu Software" and "Third Party Software" should have interesting things to tick or untick to help with using cd's for installing programs ;)

I hope this helps!
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
