So I am having a lot of difficulties with getting my TK1 board setup and ready for development.

I tried installing Chrome and I got an error related to "i386" when I tried to install it. I also tried installing Teamviewer and I also got the same error.

Now, whenever I try to run "sudo apt-get update" or anyhting similar, I get errors related to not able to get i386 package:

I tried cleaning stuff using "sudo apt-get clean" and "sudo apt-get autoclean", etc.. but to no good. I am not sure why after downloading and trying to install chrome or teamviewer, I would get this error.

I would appreciate any help with this...

  • It's not technically a duplicate though. It just happened that the answer in that question solved my problem. Mine is strictly related to i386 while the given answer is related to another type of architecture and with a different error message. I still believe this question will be helpful to someone. – Georgi Angelov May 21 '16 at 03:07

So after a good night of sleep, I decided to google the issue with a failed "sudo apt-get update" and I found that the following thing fixed my issue:

ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386

Apparently, I had added a foreign architecture "i386" and that was causing all the issues and I am not sure why I didn't see this before.

There you go, I hope this helps someone else.

This is the link that helped me try this approach. It's not exactly the same issue, but the solution is the same: Apt-get update fails ubuntu 14.04
