i've been having errors updating stuff for a few months now on software updater and with the terminal using either sudo apt update or sudo apt-get update. ive tried quite a few tricks that have been used but nothing has changed so far.

this is my error message:

Ign:1 cdrom://Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS _Focal Fossa_ - Release amd64 (20210819) focal InRelease
Err:2 cdrom://Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS _Focal Fossa_ - Release amd64 (20210819) focal Release
  Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs

I do not know if this is just normal or not but it's annoying me

    There is something wrong with that mirror. Switch back to the default one – Daniel T Mar 01 '24 at 04:36
  • A quick look and to me the URL you're using isn't complete.. thus why you're getting your error.... but I didn't explore beyond highlighting details on your question & right click open in new window on my browser... What I saw also gave me reasons why I'd not use it myself (it didn't appear to be regularly maintained thus I'd explore further before I used it for security reasons) – guiverc Mar 01 '24 at 05:28
