Cannot start Android device emulator on Linux

Question

I used to launch and debug Android Studio apps on emulator without problems. However, recently I am constantly failing to start the emulator. Updating the SDK and system images

Answer 1

I was fiddling around on an issue like this on Fedora 32 for a couple of days.

I had to to make system unload the free nouveau graphics driver and install/load the non free nvidia driver.

Very useful:

https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

To check which driver is loaded I used:

lshw -c video

It is difficult to grab the correct rpm package from rpmfusion.

If nvidia is not loaded, then you can check:

more /var/log/messages | grep nvidia

It told me which driver series to use.

After successful install of nvidia driver, I can use HW graphics option in AVD manager.
