Debian KDE, repeatedly asking me to insert a CD
Hi, After I previously attempted to install the testing version of Debian (although I thought it was the stable 8.1 version) on a virtualbox machine I decided to use the debian-8.1.0-i386-kde-CD-1.iso ISO. This installation occurred without error and the net connection is fine (why I'm even using its connection to send this email). The reason I am sending this email, however, is that I installed scilab via APT (which also happened without incident) and since then whenever I run `apt-get install package`, where package can be substituted with whatever package ya want and it doesn't seem to make any difference, I get the following message after I answer `Y` to do I want to continue with the installation: `Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 8.1.0 _Jessie_ - Official i386 kde-CD Binary-1 20150606-13:00' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter` And I'm wondering what's this is about. My original ISO which I used to install this virtual machine (VM) is still connected to the VM (I know it's no longer needed after the installation is complete, it's just I haven't shut the machine down yet so I haven't had the chance to remove it). Thanks for your time, Brenton

Oops I will ammend that original statement of mine. So far package values of: * gnome * build-essential seem to be the only ones that trigger this request for me to insert this particular ISO (I have tried package values of git, curl, octave and gnome-session without this issue). I have since logged out and removed the ISO from the VM and it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

There is a file on your virtual machine's filesystem called /etc/apt/sources.list which tells APT where to look for packages. If you installed from one of the larger ISOs (i.e. not netinst), this file will include entries for CDs, which start like this: deb cdrom: Hopefully you should also have some lines which look something like deb http://some-name-or-other.debian.org/debian jessie main Comment out the lines starting deb cdrom: by putting a '#' at the start, and see if things work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Go to your sources list. Comment out the CD. Update. It will stop asking for it. That will only work if it can indeed get packages from the Internet.
