Android sdk on ubuntu Starting emulator for AVD PANIC: Could not open:

Question

I found a ton of answers to this question for Windows, but my problem is with linux (ubuntu). I just downloaded the adt package, launched eclipse and tried to start the emulator from the virtual device manager, but I get a message

Starting emulator for AVD 'AS' PANIC: Could not open: AS 

I tried to run both root and non root without success.

thanks

Answer 1

Do not use. / emulator -avd {AVD NAME} as superuser ... Try to use it without root, it worked for me. For more details see this link.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. It turns out I did not have the appropriate permissions on the Eclipse ADT Bundle .

Try:

 sudo chown -R username adt-bundle-linux-x86_64**** 

Make sure you have workspace permissions ...

 sudo chown -R username Workspace 

Then you should be able to run Eclipse as non-root and just run AVD.

Answer 3

If you are using a 64-bit distribution on your development machine, you need to install the ia32-libs package using apt-get ::

Open a terminal and enter the following

  sudo apt-get install ia32-libs 

For more information check the link below.

I assume Android-sdk is 32 bit, so you need ia32-libs if you are running on a 64 bit machine

Edit:

You can try this

open terminal

and enter

  sudo chmod -R 777 'YOURPATH of sdk folder(Just Drag and Drop your Android sdk folder here)' 

This will give read permission and read execution.

Answer 4

you can try to install piecemeal

eclipse download - no bundle

download sdk install

adt

I am using ubuntu 12.04 and eclipse 4.3 and everything is fine.
