From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm on Debian 12, KDE Plasma, I often get this error

E: The repository 'cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 12.0.0 Bookworm - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20230610-10:23] bookworm Release' does not have a Release file. W: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. W: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. E: cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 12.0.0 Bookworm - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20230610-10:23] bookworm Release is not (yet) available (Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs) W: http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/dists/stable/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.

I didn't install from a CD Rom or DVD, what is the problem here?

Question: can this be done via a graphical interface (eg like software-properties-kde in (K)ubuntu)?

[–] lordnikon 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yes it can be changed just to un check the box that says Cdrom in sources list. you may need to install that package as im not sure it is installed on debian by default. I start with a minimum install and build my system from there so it's been a long time since I have seen a default install.

Cheers! Good to know for when I also switch to Debian :)

To add to what @lordnikon said, the program is called Software & Updates and I'm pretty sure it's installed by default in GNOME (don't know about other DEs).

Cheers! Yes it's the same as in KDE. The command-line call is software-properties-gtk or software-properties-kde.
