Issue
this is my first time to install linux on my system, I think there is a lot of mess here and I feel helpless from too many errors I got when trying to update my system, when use terminal with this command:
sudo apt update
I got many errors specially from these 3 types:
- (target content is configured multiple times)
- (the repository does not have a Release file)
- (Err 404 not found)
knowing that I searched many topics and couldn't solve the problem with my system.
Here's the output I got after writing "sudo apt update"
Ign:1 cdrom://Ubuntu 17.04 _Zesty Zapus_ - Release amd64 (20170412) zesty InRelease
Err:2 cdrom://Ubuntu 17.04 _Zesty Zapus_ - Release amd64 (20170412) zesty Release
Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs

Solution
The error/warning output of repository update command is related to your repository settings. The settings reside inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<file> and /etc/apt/sources.list.
First of all you should comment out all repositories located at cdrom since you really don't want to use packages out of your CD-ROM installation media...
The rest of errors is related to either unsecure connection (plain HTTP) or just the repository being dead (404, Release file). You should probably do the same as with the cdrom ones - comment them out.
