Answer 1

I had exactly the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Android Studio 2.3.2 and I solved the issue by doing the following in a terminal window: (NOTE: I saw this somewhere else on online but I can't remember where so I can't give credit where credit is due)

sudo apt list "*nvidia-[0-9][0-9][0-9]"

mine returned: nividia-346 nividia-352 nividia-361 nividia-367 nividia-375

I then ran the following for each that was returned:

sudo apt install nvidia-375
sudo apt install nvidia-367
sudo apt install nvidia-361
sudo apt install nvidia-352
sudo apt install nvidia-346

Then reboot Ubuntu and everything worked fine.
