update manager fails

[Jake Maier]

Thanks Mika
The first line in the file was a CDRom entry, and getting rid of it fixed the problem
Thanks again
Jake

 It seems that you have cdrom entries in /etc/apt/sources.list or some file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.

If you want to get up-to-date using network mirrors instead of CDs, try removing those lines. Press ALT+F2 and give command "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove lines which include CDROM.
If you are unsure what to remove, feel free to attach that file to this list :).
