Android monitor returns this

Same problem for me on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64 with :

• Android Studio 2.2.3
• Android SDK Tools 25.2.4
• Emulator version 25.2.4-3534729 (From Emulator > Extended Controls > Help > About)

My graphic card is an AMD/ATI Radeon and I read from this thread on Android Open Source Project - Issue Tracker that :

The root cause of the problem is likely that the Radeon GL driver library requires a more recent libstdc++.so than the one bundled with the emulator.

Here's how I fixed the problem :

1. Install lib64stdc++6

   $ sudo apt-get install lib64stdc++6:i386   
   

2. Install mesa-demos

   $ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
   

3. Move libstdc++.so.6 out of the way by renaming it to libstdc++.so.6.bak

   $ cd ~/$ANDROID_HOME/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++
   $ mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
