W: Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 13.10 _Saucy Salamander_ - Release amd64 (20131016.1)/dists/saucy/restricted/binary-i386/Packages  Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs

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

I am new to ubuntu so I dont know how to solve this error. This is shown at the end after executing 'sudo apt-get update' command. I think this is preventing me from installing new apps like wine 1.7.

No, it's not preventing you to install wine.Just try to remove or put # before the below line in /etc/apt/sources.list file,

deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander - Release amd64 (20131016.1)]/ saucy main restricted

And then run an update,

sudo apt-get update

  • is sources.list.save same as sources.list?

    no.To delete the line run sudo nautilus command.From that move to /etc/apt/sources.list file and then open it.Now delete or add # before that line. Mar 9, 2014 at 5:18

  • Don't worry run this command, sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.save /etc/apt/sources.list Mar 9, 2014 at 5:26
  • the above line is not there. Instead there is deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander - Release amd64 (20131016.1)]/ saucy main restricted
