Cannot get packages

[m1nnow]

I installed Kubuntu 12.10 about four days ago, this is my first experience with linux. After installation, I started the process of downloading system updates and assorted packages. Moun worked fine at first, but now is telling me either that no packages could be installed or that another package manager is in use, nor can i get any of the system updates that are ready to be downloaded. To the best of my knowledge I do not have another package manager running. I havent really tried to use the console to because I am not at all familiar with it

open a terminal and type in

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

if it runs through great , if not post the error messages hear,,,,,,,you can copy and paste from the terminal.

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


and after sudo apt-get dist-update:

@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

E: The package ttf-mscorefonts-installer needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

For what its worth, I have an intel i3 processor.
Thanks for your help.

Disable the CD-ROM as an active repository entry.

That seems to have taken care of the problem, thank you.

You're welcome.
