I started using Ubuntu a few weeks ago, so I decided to install it also on my Chromebook. It feels so nice, but I get this error when I try to update Ubuntu:

W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-amd64_Packages)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

The problem is I didn't installed Chrome at all in Ubuntu, I have the bad feeling that the Chrome OS is troubleshooting it (Even it is in dual boot an should be on its own partition). Also Wine cannot be installed.

The forum has some answers for the error, but I just started with Ubuntu so it would be nice if you could help me.

So how to fix it and is Chrome OS the problem? Is it not properly installed?

Last night I installed it 3 times and I already fixed the update problem. (in the settings of the Software Center there were 2 indentical links for updates, I just deleted one), but Wine still doesn't work

Like Andrew mentioned, I believe Wine wants the 32-bit version, but I have the HP 14 Chromebook which is definitely 64-bit and I installed 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 lts!

The error says:

Wine Issues with Installing

There seems to be a solution, but I dont want to install the 32 bit on my 64bit??? Isnt that a kind of "downgrading"? Doesnt that cause more Problems?

As for Wine, most Chromebooks use an ARM architecture, so a program that is 32-bit or 64-bit will not work. (Please provide your Chromebook's architecture to help me help you.)

As for the updates, open up a terminal and enter sudo apt-get update (the code in the bottom of the output you posted). This should fix the problem.

As for ChromeOS, Unless you're doing a Ubuntu overlay on ChromeOS, there shouldn't be any problem in Ubuntu relating to ChromeOS.
