I am a beginner with Ubuntu and any help is appreciated.
When I run sudo apt-get update
on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I obtain at the end the following message:
Reading package lists... Done
W: Duplicate sources.list entry cdrom://Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20130213)/ precise/main i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/Ubuntu%2012.04.2%20LTS%20%5fPrecise%20Pangolin%5f%20-%20Release%20amd64%20(20130213)_dists_precise_main_binary-i386_Packages)

entries are weird. I'd suggest you comment them out (put a#
in front of the respective lines). You need sudo to edit this file.sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
. But first, copy the original file:cp /etc/apt/sources.list sources.list.backup
