Install Problem - Media Change Request [Solved]

[llewellen]

I installed 9.4.0 ISO from a USB stick today, using the graphical installer. All seemed to go well, I exited the installer and rebooted with no issues. I then wanted to install some packages and tried to use sudo in the terminal. I have now discovered that since I specified a root password during installation, sudo is not installed by default. I then ran commands to install sudo and got the following output asking me to insert a disk. Huh??

Code: Select all

drew@Drew:~$ su
Password: 
root@Drew:/home/drew# apt-get install sudo

First, do you really need sudo or did ubuntu tell you that?

Remove or comment out the cd/dvd line in your /etc/apt/sources.list then run apt update.
This is done as root, use su

Thank you. That worked. I don't recall specifically but, yes, it probably was a ubuntu "helpful hint". I can just use apt, right?

Yes, as root. su then exit when done
