I've got a fresh copy of Ubuntu Server 15.04 and installed it via "Easy Install" in VMWare WorkStation 12.

After it installed,i've logged in to my account and tried to install apache2 with this command:

sudo apt-get install apache2

and got this message:

media change: please insert the disc labled Ubuntu-server 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter

I'm sure that the internet connection is okay. But how can I avoid this error and install apache2?

I have installation ISOl I can use it as CD, also, I have an internet connection to download, and I can ping google.com successfully.

  • Don't post images when text will do. copy and paste the text (commands and output) from your terminal instead. Text is searchable, editable, re-usable and legible in any screen size. It also works for vision impaired users. Images are none of those things. Commented Mar 19, 2016 at 2:49

You need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list. Simply open it in your text editor, and comment the lines referring to cdrom sources; for example:

deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 15.04 _Vivid Vervet_.../ vivid main restricted

Save and exit, then run apt-get update and apt-get install apache2 again.

This happened by default since you installed from CD.

  • Did you sudo apt-get update first? Commented Mar 19, 2016 at 0:21
  • Also can you show me the output of dpkg --get-selections | grep hold? You can edit your question and put it there if there's many lines. Commented Mar 19, 2016 at 0:22

  • BTW, remove some /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* files. Because they has been expired. Commented Mar 19, 2016 at 1:28
