[Linux Debian 8]: Driver Installation asks me to insert a disc
There is probably a line in /etc/apt/sources.list
(or in one of the files in /etc/apt/sources.lists.d/
) starting with
deb cdrom ...
Comment this line out and Debian won’t try to install packages from this disc.

So I recently installed Debian 8 and am currently trying to get the software configured with my NVIDIA video card. The official Debian page instructed me to do this:
-
Add
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
to the
/etc/apt/sources.list
. -
Run
# aptitude update
and then run
# aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-kernel-dkms
I am not sure what I did wrong, because when I run the second command, it displays this message to me:
0 packages upgraded, 16 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/21.9 MB of archives. After unpacking 80.5 MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y Media change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 8.1.0 _Jessie _ - Official amd64 kde-CD Binary-1 20150606-14:19' into the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press [Enter].1
I do not possess an optical drive so this creates a great issue for me.
I got the instructions from here. See “Installation: Debian 8 'Jessie'”
