Would appreciate any response!

Same here (I'm using Android Studio 2.1, Xubuntu 16.04, have a NVIDIA GT218 GeForce 210, KVM activated) — Deleplace, May 05 '16 at 15:50
I do not understand that, because when I was ran correctly on buntu 14.04 — Juan_H, May 05 '16 at 16:32
The [ask ubuntu](http://askubuntu.com/) community would have been a good place for this question. — Deleplace, May 05 '16 at 16:57

Well , i found a solution for this problem. I don't know what it's wrong with Android Studio but he can't execute the any emulator and the solution for me nowadays is execute the emulator by command,after that you install a emulator using android studio execute the command below because you need to have the emulator, in my case Nexus_5_API_21.

LD_PRELOAD='/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6' ~/Android/Sdk/tools/emulator -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_5_API_21

i don't remeber exactly where i found this solution but i think it's on google forums

I am also using Android Studio 2.1 with Ubuntu 16.04

There is an answer from this stackoverflow question that worked perfectly.

A few things to note: My $ANDROID_HOME was different then this one. I had to take out the android-sdk-linux_x86 in the filename. Also there was multiple versions of libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.0.18 and libstdc++.so.6.0.21. I still used the libstdc++.so.6 and it worked perfectly

$ cd $ANDROID_HOME/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/lib64/libstdc++
$ mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 $ANDROID_HOME/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/lib64/libstdc++

In my case, I just deleted `$PATH_TO_ANDROID_SDK/tools/lib64/libstdc++/libstdc++.so.6` and everything started working fine. You may also fine more variants there, like 6.0.18 and 6.0.21, delete them too. – AneesAhmed777 Dec 30 '16 at 14:39

What I did to solve this on my Xubuntu 16.04 was :

Check what my graphics card is with: lspci | grep VGA
- answer: some NVidia model
Check what graphics driver I was currently using with: sudo lshw -C video | grep driver
- answer: the Nouveau default, free software driver
Installed proprietary NVidia driver : go to Main search menu (depending on your Unity, or Gnome, or Xfce) > Additional drivers > switch from "Nouveau" to "NVIDIA binary driver - version 3XX (proprietary, tested)
- I know there are other (horribly complex and fallible) ways to download and install NVidia drivers, but the cool and simple way worked for me
Reboot

And my Android emulator errors were gone :)

I'm still having the same – Juan_H May 05 '16 at 18:31
Solved my issue. Couldn't figure out why Hardware rendering failed, but Software worked. Completely forgot about the installing the Nvidia driver. – TyCobb Nov 30 '16 at 05:36
