[SOLVED] CDROM Repository - re-establish

winlinuser · 03-03-2018, 10:44 AM

In the process of removing duplicate entries in my repositories files, I lost the CDROM repository established when I upgraded from Mint XFCE 18 to 18.3

Can anyone give me the commands to re-establish this repository link? Current attempts to fix this have failed and I'm stumped.

Many thanks in advance.

Through the Mint menu, run Software Sources.

Click on Additional Repositories, then check CD-ROM (Installation Disk).

If you would like me to check over your current repositories, then please paste the output from:

Code:

inxi -r

Hi Hydrurga - many thanks for your reply. Since posting I have had two breakthroughs.

1. https://sites.google.com/site/easyli...ject/reserve-8

which gives Mint 18.3 specific guidelines. and

2. Click on the icon on the tray.
Open the "Software Sources" program.
Click on "Additional repositories".
Uncheck the entry for "CD-ROM Installation Disc".
Click on "Update the cache" to update the cache and confirm that the entry was removed.

This was the only issue remaining after the previous instructions I posted.

I hope this proves useful for others with the same issue.
