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...

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
