I can't change the graphics to software as I'm sure this is the fix for my AVD not launching.
The option is greyed out (see screenshot). Has anyone has experience with this? I couldn't find anyone who had the same issue.
I'm running the latest version of Android Studio on Ubuntu 17.04.
Actually, this problem seems to be limited to devices with Play Store available, so Nexus 5X and Nexus 5 images will be forced to use Automatic Graphics, but all other devices allow you to choose either Automatic, Hardware or Software graphics.
Seems like the problem was with the choosen VM. If I choose a Nexus 4, it runs just fine.
Verry easy, open virtual manager in android virtual machine manager, go to containing folder and edit some ini files to VMHeap to 512, ram to 4096 MB, bla bla. Restart Android Studio and done.
