Hello I am new to ubuntu. I am running 14.04 Trusy. I have tried to search around but the solutions I have found has not helped. I get some errors when running apt-get update:

I therefore found that you should look in the sources.list file:

I searched around on the name aarch64, which refers to arm. This I do not understand since my install should from this link, specifically AMD64. Can somebody help me with this issue?

  • What does command dpkg --print-foreign-architectures output? – J.J. Hakala Jul 12 '16 at 07:28
  • @J.J.Hakala i386 and aarch64, which seems odd when I installed the other version. Does this mean it should be reinstalled with another package? – JTIM Jul 12 '16 at 07:47
  • It might be possible to remove aarch64 with command dpkg --remove-architecture aarch64 – J.J. Hakala Jul 12 '16 at 07:50
  • check /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder as well. Repo information is read from the config files in this folder as well. One of the files may have this url listed. change binary-aarch64 binary-amd64 will hopefully work. – Sreevisakh Jul 12 '16 at 08:05
  • using dpkg --get-selections | grep aarch64 | awk '{print $1}' showed me why I have them all installed. I installed jetpack from nvidia to install a board called Nvidia jetson tx1. I am investigating some stuff :) – JTIM Jul 12 '16 at 08:22
  • @J.J.Hakala the same errors are occurring when though I uninstalled the, :/ – JTIM Jul 12 '16 at 08:26
  • @Sreevisakh going through the folder made it possible to remove ppa.launchpad but nothing else. – JTIM Jul 12 '16 at 08:35
  • @J.J.Hakala it helped deleting them just had to do some more commands to delete it. THX – JTIM Jul 12 '16 at 09:19

I had the same issue on my host PC (Ubuntu 14.04 X86_64), after installing Jetpack 2.2 and flashing a Jetson TX1 with 64 bit userspace architecture. I was able to temporary get around the problem by doing this on my sources.list and source.list.d/ files. For example, for mongodb. I added [arch=amd64] before the url, after deb.

deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse, instead of deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse

I am not sure if this is an issue with Nvidia's Jetpack or not. Anyone have a better solution?
