“waiting for target device to come online” in Android Studio 2.3

Question

Recently upgraded to Android Studio from 2.2.3 to 2., running on Win10

Emulator stopped working since then. Tried installing other images(25 rev 4)/upgrading for AVD

Answer 1

I already have Emulator installed. But still had the same problem this morning with Ubuntu 16.04 and Android Studio 2.3,Below is what I did and it worked.

Double Check to see if these are available:

    sudo apt-get install lib64stdc++6:i386    
    sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

1. Locate the lib64 folder. On Ubuntu 64 bit, its located under ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64.

2. In terminal, Navigate to the ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64 folder ,then run the following commands:

move the libstdc++ file inside the folder libstdc++.bak and provide softlink

mv libstdc++/ libstdc++.bak
ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++
