Cannot launch emulator on Linux (Ubuntu 15.10)

Question

I try to launch emulator but it outputs into log:

QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread emulator: WARNING: Increasing RAM size to 1GB

How to fix it? I read topics with similar errors but it doesn't help me.

Answer 1

Use "Software" in the Emulated Performance Graphics option, in the AVD settings. Very simple solution.

Answer 2

I had the similar problems with using i965_dri.so and swrast_dri.so, I wasn't able to change to software graphics in the GUI.

So I went to the emulator's folder (Show on Disk link in AVDM) and found the config.ini

Here I just changed the following line to stop it from using GPU:

hw.gpu.enabled=no

Answer 3

$ cd ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64/libstdc++ $ mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak $ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6

Answer 4

better locate your system default libstdc++.so.6 using the command locate libstdc++.so.6

And Then Take a back up of the android sdk version of the file in ~/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++/

And create a soft link for libstdc++.so.6 with the same name in the above path replacing the existing one pointing to the default file in the system

This way we do not need restart the emulator every time from command line.

Answer 5

I was also having a lot of problems to launch AVD on my machine. Struggled with using system libs, creating symlinks to local libraries, etc...

What really made it work for me was to install the nvidia drivers with

sudo apt install nvidia-340

My distro (note I'm not using Ubuntu 15.10):

$ uname -a
Linux ruapehu 4.4.0-38-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 6 15:42:33 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS \n \l

Make sure you check the nvidia package suitable for you, as Ubuntu offers different flavors. For instance:

$ sudo apt list "nvidia-[0-9][0-9][0-9]" 
Listing... Done
nvidia-304/xenial 304.131-0ubuntu3 amd64
nvidia-331/xenial 340.96-0ubuntu3 amd64
nvidia-340/xenial,now 340.96-0ubuntu3 amd64 [installed]
nvidia-346/xenial 352.63-0ubuntu3 amd64
nvidia-352/xenial 361.42-0ubuntu2 amd64
nvidia-361/xenial,now 361.42-0ubuntu2 amd64

I tested the list in a bottom-up strategy, from 361 until I found one that worked (340, in my case).

Hope that helps.

Answer 6

$ cd Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64/libstdc++
$ mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6

it's worked for me
